Z/Alphabe-Thursday

Zebra in an Ontario field - last summer

It's not often that we see zebras when we're on a road trip here so SCREECH! Yep my husband backed up so I could take this photo. The zebra is one of a few here, part of a small zoo near Tiny Marsh, Ontario.

    Bardzo lubię oglądać te śliczne "konie w paski" . Pozdrawiam.
    I really enjoy watching these beautiful "horses with stripes." Yours.

    I suspect I would have been hitting the brakes as well!

    Nice, it seems like it has a large space to wander.

    Definitely a slam-on-the-brakes moment! I've had that experience with a zebra once this year.

    I would have hit the breaks too. I can't say I've ever seen one.

    I'm glad that you have a zebra, too. You may remember we found a bunch on a local farm some time ago but now they've disappeared.

    Are you having problems getting the updated City Daily Photo thingy to load? It's not worked well for a long time for me.

    Haha, it was a screech-worthy stop and terrific photo! I like the idea of a sudden zebra in Canada:)

    Great Z post! One of my neighbors has a zebra and I just shake my head for about ten minutes every time I see it!!

    It's really cute though!

    We once saw a camel in a field on a farm near my parents' house. I imagine I hit the brakes as quickly as your husband did when you spotted the zebra.

    Wow! Maybe you need a bumper sticker that says "I break for Zebras!" Lol.

    PS -- I would never delete my blog. Too many great memories recorded there. :)

    Hi Ms. E.G.T.Guide -- I looked for a zebra and couldn't find one. Not even a toy. So I used another idea for my "Z's" today.

    You just reminded me of a word where the Brits actually do use the letter "Z". But they mispronounce Zebra, saying instead, Zeabra (rhymes with lead paint).

    Every little zebra's markings are unique to him. Juat like human fingerprints!

    Lovely little guy here!
