Photo Friday: Listening to the Doves

White Dove on the Amalfi Coast

A lot can happen while you’re trying to park on the Amalfi Coast. Or, more specifically, while you’re waiting for someone else to find and maneuver the car into an impossibly small parking space. The other day, I was sitting on the wall on the side of the road while the Tour Guide worked his magic with parallel parking near Positano. I heard a soft cooing sound behind me, and turned around to find this beautiful white dove just sitting there. It actually arranged its tail and posed when I pulled the camera out! There were a few more doves in the pine tree nearby, and they were having quite the active evening conversation. A lot of things have happened while waiting for the Tour Guide to park the car, but this was the first time I found myself surrounded by white doves! Wishing everyone a happy and peaceful weekend!

But The Travelers by @brunocesarcatalano in Amalfi has been extended to November 5, 2023. I wasn’t ready for them to travel on yet!
This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳
