Have any of you ever seen something special and wished you had a camera, because you know you may never see this again? Well, this morning I took DJ out to do his business. I have a bird feeder hanging from a big oak tree. There was something making a movement under it in the leaves. DJ doesn't see it. He is busy. I just stand still until I can see what this is.

It is a Mourning Dove; she is looking for seeds under the feeder. I say she because here the females are smaller than the males. DJ gets done and looks up at me to see why I am not walking and then he looks over and see's the dove. She looks straight at him and then at me. She just continues to scratch in the leaves. DJ goes to run at her and very softly I say, “No DJ”, and he stops sets down and we both watch her and she knows we are there.

These beautiful birds are very shy of humans and other animals. Time seemed to slow down and then she looks at us, fly's to the top of the garage, sets there and then fly's away. DJ turns and looks at me, like he was saying where did it go Mama?

All the way across the back yard he is looking up in the trees, as we get to the very back I hear her call very softly.

Can that be called one of God's moments?

One of those moments, when if we don't look real close, we never see?

I just wanted to share it with all of you.
