a pigeon's life...

how do you perceive the pigeon?  aka - morning dove, rock dove and/or any other kind of dove, perhaps...

some think pigeons are a pain - a nuisance - bothersome...  i tend to disagree, believing pigeons are quite pretty in their own right.  plus, i'm certain they play a vital role in the whole eco-system of the planet!  there are different varieties - myriad colorings as well, with shades of green - purple - blue - gray...  they make the coolest sounds ever: cooing around you if you don't bother them - and if you listen closely, their wings will sing to you as they fly...  making this glorious sound of fluttering that once you get to know it, will always be recognizable to you wherever you are - wherever you go...






as i was visiting my little lake the other day - pigeons were out in abundance - flying here and there... funny to observe them attempting to navigate their way around the frozen sections of water - as they skidded, slipped and slid on the ice trying to maintain balance...




as they finally succeeded in their ultimate goal - quenching thirst...


and demonstrating - in the animal kingdom - there does exist kindness, compassion and a willingness to share with others - for there is plenty to go around...



what a wonderful example to set - one we all should follow...

happy day.....
