    That is hilarious, and a great capture.
    I don't know where I'm goin, but I'm goin anyway.

    At least, the trespasser is advised what the future deserves for him/her.
    Very nice composition and funny.
    Thanks,

    Aside from the comic value, that's a cracking shot of a black vulture. Way to go, Pam. thumb.gif

    Thanks so much. It was kind of one of those "just driving by" kind of shots.

    Best, Pam

    Thanks, Joel! We are trying to be environmentally sustainable as much as we can. One of our cousins has acquired some llama who guard a heard of sheep who are in charge of keeping weeds away from the pepper plants, so I asked him if this was our new sustainable security guard. I think the bird may be a juvenile turkey vulture rather than a black vulture, though I'm not sure. We have lots of mature turkey vultures here, and the grey headed ones are always with them. Most of the turkey vultures work on the janitorial crew, keeping the place cleaned up. Hope you have had a great summer!

    Best, Pam

    Thanks, Ric! I'll see if I can find out his salary. I know he gets a lot of free food plus room and board, in addition to his executive salary. Best, Pam

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
