Le vent d'été
À Léon Tillot.
Le vent d'été baise et caresse
La nature tout doucement :
On dirait un souffle d'amant
Qui craint d'éveiller sa maîtresse.
Bohémien de la paresse,
Lazzarone du frôlement,
Le vent d'été baise et caresse
La nature tout doucement.
Oh ! quelle extase enchanteresse
De savourer l'isolement,
Au fond d'un pré vert et dormant
Qu'avec une si molle ivresse
Le vent d'été baise et caresse !

The Western Crowned Pigeon, also known as the Common Crowned Pigeon or Blue Crowned Pigeon, Goura cristata, is a large, turkey-sized, approximately 75cm long, blue-grey pigeon with blue lacy crests over the head and dark blue mask feathers around its eyes. Both sexes are almost similar but males are often larger than females.

I love this kind of lighting. Sometimes it doesn't even matter what your subject is as long as you use this dramatic dusk or early morning light. In this case, it was nice to have a blanket of red leaves on the ground and a few golden leaves still on the trees.
