I was out for a walk the other day when something caught my eye. I raised my camera but it was too late. Oh well, another missed shot. But then something strange happened.
Look who flew to a nearby log. "Are you looking for me?"
"Here, I'll give you a pose or two."
"Want to see me do a neck ruffle?"
"How about a profile shot so you can get a photo of my tail feathers? STOP ........ WAIT......"
"My feathers are a mess, give me a minute to groom a little."
"Okay, now I am more presentable.""No, not yet! You're taking a picture of the back of my head."
"That's better, this is my best side." "Do you think Audubon Magazine would be interested in my photos? Could you print up some extras photos for my portfolio? A pigeon has to make a living you know."Do you like critters? Then visit Camera Critters.

What a fantastic model that pigeon turned out to be. I love the shimmery colors on its neck and the dark wing stripes.
Oh, these are wonderful and how lucky you were to get a vogue-ing pigeon to pose so well for you! Love it!
Beautiful photos of the pigeon, Judy! Very colorful!
Don't you love it when the animals seem to pose for you??? This sweet pigeon was certainly photogenic ~ very cute!
Have a great weekend!

Very clever story and great shots. Did you charge him for the shots for is portfolo?
Morning J and Miss Cindi Lou,
Boy you all certainly do have very pretty pigeons out west. None of the ones around here are that colorful, polite, friendly or CLEAN. Do you subscribe to Birds and Blooms? I bet they would enjoy these lovely pictures.
Happy Saturday,
Madi and Mom
I do like the neck ruffle the best, that's a great shot. Oh well, they all are for that matter. Wonderful series, Judy!
She's pretty funny and sexy...
:)
Hold it Pigeon! Don't move, I'll just get may camera and please don't change your pose, if you can just wait for...oh well, it will take time before I'll get there.
I love the last line, a pigeon needs work... lol... fantastic!!
Great photos, and I love your running commentary!
you know I love critters and this is a wonderful story about a goregous and brightly colored pigeon. this post strokes my love of photograpy and critters LOVE IT
What a cute pigeon! Beautiful colorful shots Judy!
Cute, Judy.... Love the pictures--but your words are GREAT.... The pigeon is pretty--but it's hard to like pigeons since they caused so much damage in the steeple and church bell area of our church in New Orleans... I don't know how that church ever got rid of them--but they were a MESS...
BUT---yours is so pretty.... Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
Betsy
That looks very similar to the racing pigeon that dropped in to visit for just over a week a few weeks ago. Could you see if it had rings on its fingers and bells on its toes - NO! - I mean rings on its legs? (I know it's not the same one - ours was a Scottish bird ;-})
Great photos and a funny narrative!
what more can we ask for?
nice one...
Lovely photos. I always get a kick out of the pigeons at my local park. One in particular is a Lance Romance-wannabe. He's always trying to impress the lady pigeons by fluffing his feathers, cooing, dancing for them and he gets shot down every. single. time. But he keeps trying!
Beautiful neck! I think this bird knows who is friend or foe. I always love your cute running commentary!
Your series of pictures show such beautiful colors in these birds. Very nice! Gail
Gorgeous coloring and details. Male or female, this is a little camera diva posing for you. Love it! Great shots.
A good looking pigeon. Obviously thought it was a peacock.
what a wonderful model you found!!
It just goes to show, you must have a victory some times.
Excellent shots..I really haven't seen a pigeon long enough to notice how gorgeous it's colors are..really nice!
Subtlety is better than force. ............................................................
I love the shades of blue. You got some stunning photos of our guy here and added your witty commentary to make a very entertaining post!
LOL! posing for you! How great was that?! great shots!
The colors are beautiful.
WOW!!!
:-)
Amazing and wonderful series!
These are great shot...and isn't s/he pretty!
