  1. Awwwww… are they REALLY called Zebra Doves? I gotta go google! They sure are cute! I bet they can get pesky though! (they have that LOOK about them!) LOL!

  2. So your final alphabet pictures are for the birds. Zebra Doves what a great way to end. Thank you it has been fun.

  3. I am posting my Y and my Z tonight Quilly, is that allright?
    I love the doves, never heard of Zebra doves before!

  4. Quilly – you astound me. Well done! You made excellent X, Y, and Z posts. And I learned a lot too. Zebra dove huh? Love it. Very original and imaginative.
    I couldn’t possibly have joined this challenge this time round as I couldn’t have kept up daily. I haven’t enough back up of old stuff yet (well, I have, but it is hard copy, need to find it in the loft, scan it in, etc etc…)

    I have found it fascinating, even if I haven’t popped in every day – I have tried to keep up and catch up!

    The one who got to T…. wouldn’t s/he be looking for a “U” now? (not “S”….) ;0)

  5. I love your Zebra Doves… How cute they are in your picture.. Quilly , thanks for being our host for this challenge… it has been a ball.. my “Z’ is up and ready…

  6. Thanks Quilly for a great project – I’m glad I joined in the fun!
    These doves are cute – more fluffy looking than what I normally see!

  9. Melli — all doves are pesky and I photographed these qt the mall near the sweet treat vendors. The bird in the first photo has a bit of caramel popcorn in his beak.

    Karen — the closer I got, the puffier they got ….

    Juliana — they really are Zebra Doves. Honest.

  11. The feathers look like plucked artichokes. Are you sure those aren’t plucked artichokes?

  12. Well I’ve never heard of a zebra dove but it sure works well here. A great ending to a wonderful project!

  13. Doug — I’ll let you taste one and decide.

    OC wants to know, is an Arty Choke a stylish hold in a full-contact martial arts demonstration?

    Robert — thanks. I have had a wonderful time and am so glad you joined the group. I don’t have you in my blogroll yet, but you are definitely on my feed reader and you will be seeing more of me.
