Lovely couple in lovely light.... - a photo on Flickriver

            The sky had seemed a bit iffy (read cloudy) when we started our grassland safari in the morning, and we were somewhat worried about the light. It stayed that way for a better part of the morning, but for a little while the Sun came out and provided that gorgeous golden light.

We noticed these Eurasian collared doves on a thorny bush preening themselves. They are rather common around during winter, and we usually pass them over pursuing more elusive and glamorous subjects such as raptors. However, the light falling on this pair at that time was so beautiful that we had to stop the vehicle and click them till heart's content.
