A Couple of Sweethearts have been Visiting my Deck.
The Mourning Doves generally prefer to look for food on the ground,
but lately this couple has been getting brave
and checking out what the other birds
have left behind on the deck.
I was watering flowers today
and saw this spot of color flutter out of them.
Such fragile, irridescent beauty!
I think it is a Damselfly.
Of course, the following visitor
sometimes wears out its welcome.
So far this year the squirrels have
been better behaved than last year.
So far.....

I always enjoy your pretty close-ups. Those doves are beautiful and I can't imagine getting such a great photo of the damselfly. We are very thankful that we don't have squirrels at our current home!!! They wore out their welcome at our last home!!!
Hope you have a good night and restful Sunday.
The Doves are gorgeous and so is the Damselfly.
Beautiful set of images! Love that Dove shot, and really like the Dragonfly too.
Doves are such lovely birds, very nice photo of them. And I'm glad the squirrels haven't been too bad for you this year, hopefully they stay well-behaved ;)
That is one of the Jewel Wing damselflies. I think they are really beautiful! I've found them on my trips over to Henderson, but never at home. Lovely doves. Mine mostly feed on the driveway where I throw seed for the ground feeders.
The Mourning Doves really are a couple of sweethearts! What a delight to have them come visit you. They have made my day too! Thank you Janice for sharing photos of your local wildlife. Simply gorgeous!
GOD BLESS!
