What a beautiful capture, Janet! So precious! . . .f/l

Janet Marie replied:

This mother dove was the greatest. I earned her trust, and she allowed me to share her story from laying her eggs, to this stage. Right in my very own desert acre of joy. Choosing to nest in this Cane Cholla Cactus. Thank you, Karen, for stopping and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate it!

Very nice shot! I am partial to these friendly birds. One raised three pairs of babies in one summer, in my aviary!

Janet Marie replied:

This is the only mourning dove that allowed me to get in close. Following her journey that spring. After getting back from a trip, a different dove took over the nest, but was not as obliging as this one. Thank you for taking a look and sharing such a nice comment. I really appreciate it!

I love reading about your birds and the surroundings of where you live. It is like reading National Geographic! Thanks for the reply to my previous comment. The addition information is such fun to read. Cheers, -Alinna

Janet Marie replied:

Wow, Alinna! What a wonderful comment about my work. One of the reasons I love photographing the beauty of Arizona, hoping to evoke your exact feelings expressed. I am delighted that you enjoy reading my stories behind my work and that you have found them fun. She was quite a gal to get to know. Thank you for stopping by to view my work. It means a lot.

Beautiful photo Janet, very well done!

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you, Rick. Very sweet of you to say. I really appreciate that. It was not an easy task, but I had a very cooperative subject, who I earned her trust.

Awesome capture! How cool is this to see mama and baby bird together in once one’s own garden.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Alinna for your comment and taking notice of my bird photography. Having one's home situated on an acre of natural desert flora, is an awesome treat indeed. This mama dove and her two babies was quite unique that year, as she was most cooperative with all my time photographing her over weeks of spending time with her in this cane cholla cactus. None of the desert vegetation was planted by me.

lovely photo, Janet Marie - I've seen photos before of doves nesting in cactus (and other birds do, too, I know). How fascinating that they can use some of the natural defense of the cactus to protect themselves and their young! this is just a sweet photo! F

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Conni for your lovely words expressed about my dove photography. One of the joys of living on an acre of natural Sonoran Desert in Arizona. I had the pleasure for a few seasons, this one being the best, as this dove allowed me to get close. They are very skittish birds. These doves will build their nests in many unusual places, the cholla cactus is most amazing. The cactus wren and curve-billed thrasher have built their nests in my other cactus as well.

Thank you, Angela. She and her babies were precious indeed.

Sharon McConnell

This is so sweet, Janet! Wonderful capture.

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you, Sharon. She was a most cooperative and sweet dove. For some reason she took to me. Other mourning doves who graced my desert acre cholla cactus, would take off. It was a fun spring following her journey of 3 groups of babies from April to June.

Oh, my goodness, that is a great shot. Love that shade of grey and the babies are adorable!

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Catherine for visiting and sharing such a nice comment about a "spring has sprung" moment. She was an unusual dove, as they are skittish birds, flying away with any movement. I felt quite privileged to have earned her trust.

Ohh wow. So precious and beautiful as can be! We do get many of these guys here, but I have never caught where they nest!! Amazing capture!

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you Sharon, for your lovely words expressed about this. A wonderful reminder of spring, and the gifts they share. Bringing joy, despite the world trying to take our peace away. These mourning doves will build their nests in the strangest places.

Janet, great shot. f/l

Janet Marie replied:

She was an amazing mourning dove, producing 3 broods in this cactus. I had the pleasure of capturing her journey. She trusted me, and allowed me to photograph her with her babies. How special to be able to get it on film as they say, and then be able to share it. Thank you Cindy for your thoughts and choosing this as one of your favorites.

I don't think I've ever seen a bird smize before :) very sweet!

Janet Marie replied:

This was a unique mama dove and her babies. That spring I had the pleasure of winning over the trust of this dove. Allowing me to get in close, with gentle movements and soothing words. I suppose she was smizing, the eyes looking most relaxed at my presence. I never experienced a dove like this again. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it!

Into the Art! Blessing of Animals FAA show closing in a little while 01:30 AM 10/18/2020... Saw you are online so thought I'd reach out for you to submit some of your wonderful wildlife photographs! LF GJ glorijean

Janet Marie replied:

Thank you kindly for the invitation, but I only now saw your invitation on the 18th at 8:18 AM Pacific time zone. I also am not sure where the show is. It would have been better to have contacted me online if it was Facebook, as I get notifications announcement. FAA doesn’t notify us when someone leaves a comment. I the thought in wanting me to include my work. I am glad you like this and have chosen it as one of your favorites. Janet 💕

Janet Marie replied:

I see it was a Contest on FAA, after doing some searching. Using the word show, threw me off.

Bob! Thank you for the HOMEPAGE FEATURE in your wonderful Art Group, “NEW FAA UPLOADS 1 PER DAY!” I am honored to have my artwork recognized in this special way. I truly appreciate it. Janet 💕
