STOP TAKING OUR PICTURES!!!

STOP TAKING OUR PICTURES!!!

I got a kick out of this one…as he was running towards me for more food, I was able to capture him, his reflection and his shadow. His expression says it all. Taken at Pismo Beach.

I had a suggestion to crop this photo, so here it is cropped.
I like it much better this way! Thank you Raymondo!

  • Pat Yager

    Scenes like that, even embarrassing ones, can be looked back on and laughed at, altho’ at the time they can be AWFUL—like the time I was royally spit upon by a llama whom I was (foolishly!) trying to befriend. We were on our way to co camping at Yosemite, and I couldn’t get that terrific (in the bad sense) odor out of my clothes or even off my skin. Live and learn!

  • kenspics
