“Sharing wishes with strangers makes a powerful emotional statement”. This week’s photo challenge is inspired by the Japanese tradition of sharing hopes and dreams by writing wishes on small wooden plaques called ema, which are a hung up together in Shinto shrines in the hope that the spirits will grant these wishes.
In response to the invitation “to show us a wish, and let your blog be the ema upon which you share it”, here is my wish.
I wish that in this world, the vulnerable may find sanctuary and compassion
The young dove and friend in the photographs represent the fragility of the vulnerable in need of protection.

Laughing Doves … although there are so many in my garden, when one observes them closely one sees them as individuals. I hear them calling outside as I write …

We mostly see just one pair daily in our garden and I wonder if the youngster in the foreground is one of their offspring.
