Song

A winter day, Sonoran Desert, Southern Arizona

Winter afternoon—
a dove leaves its mournful song
on a frozen branch.

Okay, I was looking for the dove and then it hit me your keyword “leaves”. The dove is no longer there! lol Oh well, the tree is very interesting with the dessert backdrop. Cool SWF photo! My weekly contribution is here and while you’re at my place, then check out today’s Friday Sillies segments. Have a good weekend and be blessed!

It has become so cold here again that the poor doves sit huddled on the lines in between forays to the feeders.

So beautiful. We have a flock of doves living in our yard. Their call is so lovely.

  Not alone in leaving its song behind? So true, so true!
