Doves Of Hope

Once again it is the 2nd Wednesday of the month, and therefore it is time for a new

challenge at Words 2 Craft By. This month our quote is by Emily Dickinson, 

a famous American 20th Century poet...

"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches on the soul 

and sings the tunes without the words, and never stops at all"

I chose this image for several reasons, the first being that doves represent peace, and 

I desperately hope that in this troubled world we find peace. The second reason is

that for almost 20 years we had a pair of beautiful doves (identical to this pair) 

that were rescued from the most hideous conditions at an unscrupulous 

bird breeder's establishment.

The 'weird' lighting in my photos is caused by the sun being partially obscured by

dense smoke from a huge nearby bushfire, which thankfully has now been extinguished.

Inside my card co ordinates with the front.

A close up look at the gorgeous pair. I have had this stamp for many years, and bought it

just after Camilla and Torc came to live with us. Sadly, they both crossed the 

Rainbow Bridge not long before we moved from our farm. Despite their 

cruel beginnings, they quickly learned to trust us, and were such sweet 

gentle little things. We miss them very much.
