About This is the photograph I like most of all from my portfolio. I posted this in the beginning of the year, I'm always drawn to it.

Photographed in La Jolla on a weekend, and I believe this dove must have gotten lost. Many people have weddings in La Jolla on the beach, and some folks set doves loose at the end of the ceremony, and of course they all return to their 'home'....that's the only thing I could think of as to why this bird was here, and it is banded. It also didn't seem spooked by me getting fairly close.

So, it was a spontaneous image, which I really like.

Hope those of you who are new to this one like it also!
Have a GR8 day/evening!!
Lori :)

Lori this is absolutely stunning, no wonder you like it, the twigs in the foreground make it feel as though you as sitting in a birds nests looking out. Wonderful colours and textures in this as well as a gorgeous composition

Choosing a photo for the project it?s not an easy goal.... even more if we are talking about your photos, Lori!!!
Indoubtly this is a very good one. The dove is nicely framed by the landscape elements.
But in your case ... we can talk about best photoSS..., not a single one...
Cheers!

Hi Sony,
Thanks so much for your nice comments.

Yes, peace in the world would truly be wonderful wouldn't it? Sadly, greed and violence seems to rule. Will we ever learn??? Maybe some day.

I hope you have wonderful Holidays and a VERY HAPPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Lori :)

Hi Linn,

Merry Christmas and Happy New YEar Linn!!!

Good Morning Mrs Stitt! :-)
I remember this image very well! Definitely suitable for this category, but I would have had my money on one of your sailboat images :-) and who could ever forget your $5 rose?

Beautiful! Love to see the dove sits high above the cliff and the raging sea. It is as if the white dove is ready to spread the peace all over the raging world [my wish for new year, LOL]. Beautiful Lori, very beautiful...

Len Webster Len Webster   {K:25714} 12/19/2004
The whiteness of the bird contrasts well with the rest of the scene. The background information about the photo also makes me less sceptical about the title - few birds and animals, to me, are totally innocent or 'spirits of peace'; they're all bound to the wheel of an existence that compels them to kill in order to survive. But it is a nice photograph and the bird is untroubled, at home in a landscape that could turn violent at any time. There is as much beauty in violence as there is in peace; it's just so difficult for us to accept the truth of that, more convenient to love birds of 'peace' than those associated with 'prey'.
