Why I Wear A Hat by

It was a dark day at the Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo, NY, when the dinosaurs came to town. The animatronics bunch arrived with their moveable feast, but they also brought along what might be called a static display, & I got caught up in it. I didn’t move for several days, but I did manage an arch expression as erstwhile Brontosaurus, now reconfigured to Apatosaurus, threatened. Also got Ray in the jaws of T-Rex, & another friend as well.
A good time was had by all, especially the dinos.

    As Cute as a wee button!!! Bet it didn’t dare press!!!

  • You have absolutely NO idea. What brains I had left at that time became pudding in an instant (instant pudding), but I made a remarkable recovery. Or not, depending on your point of view. Now about that lipstick.

    Super fun shot dear Sheila …

  • I’m always sticking my neck out, but this might have been the most potentially damaging example of all. It didn’t smell very good, either. Many thanks, Tom!

    Rise up the downtrodden! Shrug off the heavy foot of the oppressor and be free! A fine example of Strength through Joy, Sheila!

  • This particular oppressor was frozen in time. Had a nice paint job, though. Strength through Joy. De vivre, at least. A motto for the ages. Think the Heralds’ College would accept it? Wheeeee. Thanks, Mike!

    Priceless!! Absolutely love the expression on your face!! You make it look as though the dino is pressing down on your bean quite hard! Lol! Wonderful image, Sheila!!

  • Ha ha! Maybe I should use a close-up of my face as my avatar pic. Ray will tell you that I often wear a hat AND that expression! Thanks, Deb.

    Very Cool indeed Sheila!

  • Grace under pressure, maybe. But I was Cool…. Actually, the Big Reptile was, too. Thanks, John.

    Sheila, my mother told me early on in life that wearing a hat won’t save you from a dinosaur !
    Great capture by Ray. Must say I like the expression….lol !

  • Thank you, Roy, & a roar in your direction. As it happens, I have a hat, & a face, for every occasion.

  • Well, Malcolm, when you find a cutout dinosaur with a hole in it, your choices are clear! Many thanks for the comment!!
