consider the pigeon...

...they tend to get kind of a bum rap, really - known for hanging about - begging for food - making a lot of noise... being rather pesty...

however, take a look at them with an open mind; you will see beautiful markings - a myriad of colors - iridescent shading, glittering in the sunlight. and then, of course there is the sound they make if you truly listen - it's really a cooing sort of sound - that if you stand in their midst, can be very soothing. 





now that i've spent some time surrounded by them... taking pictures - studying what they look like - i have a whole new appreciation for the many different varieties that exist -  how glorious they are in the air as well as on land...

happy day.....
