Their camouflaged colors in relation to their natural background is uncanny.

Lovely, muted tones blending into one another.

Thanks for the comments.

It was a cool, overcast, somewhat foggy morning.

Figured the shot was kinda boring ... looked mostly gray in the viewfinder ... but I captured the mated pair nonetheless, just because.

When I looked at the image blown-up (yes!) the subtle blending of colors (grays-to-browns-to-pinks), was just awesome: the doves were perfectly-colored for their foothills/mountain environment.

Nature never ceases to fascinate ...
