Snapped this adorable emu at the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont, Maryland. What a hilarious experience … I swear to you, he/she was FLIRTING WITH ME!!!! AHAHHA!!!! The whole time I was shooting, I was doing the fashion photographer thing, saying: "That’s it, baby, work it. Work it for me, baby, oh, you’ve got it .. you’ve got it working … yeah, baby, that’s it baby … " And I’m telling you, that emu WORKED IT!!! AHHAHAHA!!!! Thank heavens no one else was around. I don’t think.
While I was playing with the image, Frank Sinatra’s “Witchcraft” was going through my head …
My thanks to Jerry Jones of ShadowHouse Creations for the textures.
