No Turning Back

This photo reminds me of times when I’m on the edge and there is no turning back.

The only question is, “Will I slide into the water gracefully or will I make a clumsy splash?”

Buffalo Stare Down

Have you ever had a stare down with someone?

It’s easy.

All you have to do is stare at a person or animal until that person or animal blinks or turns away from you.

Ready? Let’s play.

I bet you blink first.

Water Aerobics

Aquatic exercise uses the natural buoyancy and resistance of water to provide a safe, full-body workout.

Sometimes, I wonder if the inspiration for water aerobics came from watching animals.

I wish I could have been underwater with a waterproof camera, but I had to take this photo through a glass wall.

Chicken, Not Scared

I didn’t expect to take a photo of a chicken, but this one seemed to have something to say,

“I don’t frighten easily. Why do people use the word, ‘chicken’ to describe someone who is afraid?

Personally, I think they should say, ‘scaredy cat’ instead.”

Howling at the Moon

When my camera saw this, I chuckled.

It seemed this otter thought he was a canine howling at the moon.

Have you ever howled at the moon?

If so, did it make you feel better?

Monarch Caterpillar

High on my list of fun things to photograph are butterflies.

Sometimes, I go out looking for them before they arrive.

Instead, I find caterpillars.

I wonder if they have a clue about what their future holds.

It is a remarkable transformation process.

Scratch My Back

This photo reminds me of the frustration of not being able to reach an itchy spot on my back.

It would be nice if someone was always there to scratch my back.
