Camera Critters #141 - An Interchange - December 18, 2010

I know I should be packing and organizing my big move the end of February - I

guess going through photographs could be part of that, right.  I found these, from

about twenty years ago, taken down on the Monterey, CA peninsula, when blogging

was not even a figment of my imagination.  I thought they were kind of cute and perfect

for camera critters - though my photography skills ( and the camera back then ) were

pretty awful!

"Okay, fella, you're a lot bigger than me, but share the handouts, please."

 

"Well, his look isn't too friendly but he hasn't pounced yet...."

 

"Wait a minute, big guy, there was room enough for both of us on this rock!"

To Catch a Thief - Flash 55 Friday, July 23, 2010

To Catch a Thief - Flash 55 Friday, July 23, 2010

Atop his perch, he scans his world,

Searching both the land and sea,

Hoping he will come across,

A tasty fish or delicacy.

 

It seems the competition’s fierce,

For just as he is set to fly,

Another gull steals his fish,

Letting out a raucous cry!

Where is that cat when you really need him?

Handicapped Seagull ?

I was out driving in a downpour on Easter Sunday, with my camera handy on the front seat when I spotted this seagull in the parking lot of the Safeway grocery store.  I thought it was kind of cute, so I got a picture.  I was going to save it for a mellow yellow Monday post but, since my mind is blank, I thought I'd use it today.  He doesn't look disabled at all but he's taking up a handicapped parking place - that's a five hundred dollar fine in California!
