Hmmmm... I've been busy lately, and it seems that all I've managed to get into my Journal lately are these Monday Photo Shoots that John Scalzi has started posting. And I can't even seem to do THEM on Monday <LOL>
So, here is this weeks assignment from John:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: On The WingIt's monday -- and that means it's time for a Monday Photo Shoot! To remind everyone: I hand offer a suggestion for a photograph to share, and then you either go out and take that picture or share a photo with that theme that you already have. Pretty easy stuff. This week:
Your Monday Photo Shoot: Get a shot of one of our fine feathered friends (preferably undomesticated).
Well, the shot below (in which G. is participating however unwillingly <eg>) was taken while we were in Mexico City with the Ringling Show in the early summer of 2003. We had a day off and took the opportunity to visit the Zoo. They have a really nice zoo there, and we quite enjoyed our day. While we were walking thru one of the aviaries, one of the birds took a liking to the button on the top of G's hat. He actually did get it off, and we (being the good animal people we are) followed it till we saw it land and drop the button. We then notified the keeper who was in the aviary so he could retrieve it before anyone got a chance to swallow it. Soooo.... here's my photo for the Monday Photo Shoot....
