I did not follow the butterflies to fly over the roof top, but when I went to the front yard I saw another couple. A couple of zebra doves, this time.
The male was seen bobbing its head, with tail up, while making loud calls.
It danced around its mate and the later replied with a gentle waltz. It must be a kind of successful courtship, only that the next chapter was in missing pages.
Somehow I found by chance that there were no difference between me and a snake. We both peeped, silently.

Happy New Year to you and your family!
This holiday season is full of love in the air. Maybe the snake partner was late for their date.
they r so cute..
You're going to have to be careful about finding couples in love and taking pictures. You could get into trouble! Your pictures are good, however.
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Your Zebra doves are very sweet. I like the curious, smart looking snake. Nice captures!

Happy New Year to all my friends.
It is time to say Happy New Year 2011 to you, Rainfield.
Keep hiking and showing us with more beautiful photos.
Rainfield, thank you very much for your enjoyable blog posts. Happy New Year 2011!
Doves seem to be some of the most gentle looking birds. You wanted pictures. I wonder what the snake wanted.
Happy New Year, Rainfield!
Your "Zebra Doves" are cute and I like your little story and that snake is adorable!! Ha! Happy New Year Rain!!
Rainfield, the snake, not so much but love the cute little pair of doves. Happy New Year to you my friend :)
Happy New Year to you,
How far have you journeyed along you life journey?
Thanks for advice, I have moved on and don't feel sad about my lost little boy, though some times I often wonder what it would be like to have a 21 year old son.
My dream for this year is to be a published writer. Many people and myself pray for this.
You better stick to take feather people's courting. In Singapore, if you take the no feather types, you can go to jail.
Happy New Year Rainfield!
I remember seeing the Zebra Doves during my visit there. I have no photographs of it though. Happy New Year!
Wow, cool captures. The male zebra dove does look like he is dancing. They are pretty doves. And that snake just stopped and posed for you. Happy New Year to you and your family Rainfield!
