I know, I know....what a cliche' title.
You must be thinking, couldn't she do better then that!!
Well, I tried but my brain started to hurt.
These two Mourning Doves were adorable, taking a bath together.
Shading each other...
big splash,
little splash,
fluffing out,
rear view,
eyes closed,
drying out,
getting ready for lift off...
a quick glance back before flying off!!

Big Splash...AWESOME shot!!!! I love the blue shading on the top of their heads...so, so pretty!
They are just great. You caught great shots.
They are gorgeous!
Now I have to tell you my mourning dove story ... I was probably 14, camping with my parents in Idaho. The mourning doves were calling across the lake in the morning ... my parents had been having a tiff. Dad heard the mourning doves, and tried to change the subject by asking mom "I wonder why they're mourning". Mom, in a tight voice snarled back "Probably because they mate for LIFE"!
It's been a long time since then, and mom and Dad don't remember. But I do, and always will - with a smile!!! :=}
They were just enjoying a little summer fun at the water park. So sweet!
Great shots. I love big splash. I love catching water droplets ian the air.
A perfect title Debbie!
Gorgeous shots of the sweetest birds - I love them... their gentleness and beauty.
The camera in your hands is a joy :D)

"Bathing Beauties" may be a cliche but it fits those two perfectly. Great photos.
Oh,I so love this series. Birds are so fun to watch in the bath.
A wonderful photo essay of bathtime! The fluffing out one is my favorite.

Those are GREAT photos! I love to watch the birds taking a bath. They just "get into it" so!
Wonderful photos. I love the splash of the water you captured while the doves were bathing. Doves are so pretty and gentle birds. I love the sound they make.
