HMM!
This young Eastern Cottontail rabbit and I played a game of hide and seek as I attempted to photograph him. A row of vegetation about four fee wide separated us, and every time I would move to his side, he would run into the plants. This went on for about ten minutes, and was actually quite comical. I ended up taking my shot through a clearing in the plants, as the rabbit was intently watching my every move. Best viewed large (L) for detail.
Thanks for alll the views, favs, and comments. Much appreciated.
Enjoy the weekend~!
My friend and I had our cameras on tripods pointed at each other and the response from passerby's was quite comical!
Two sandhill cranes and their reflections in a wetland pond.
Sandhill cranes seem to have the remarkable ability to be both comically clumsy looking (watch them land!) and remarkably graceful. This pair managed to produce the latter impression as they passed one another in this shallow wetland pond. It helped that they were between me and the sun, placing the two cranes’ reflection in the water beneath them.
The sandhill cranes are remarkable birds, and have become my favorites among the migratory birds I see here in California. They are here between autumn and late in winter in large numbers. Their characteristic cry is one of the defining elements of my winter photography experience. One of the best winter experiences out here comes when they return at dusk. I hear their cries before I see them, but soon hundreds of them arrive and land for the night.

RSPB Radipole Lake- Weymouth
He looks so comical with his hood fully raised. I have nicknamed him beaker from the muppets.
Many thanks for the faves and comments, they are all very much appreciated.
Greenwich, CT... I've watched a pair of tree swallows claim the same nest box for a couple of years now. I've taken to calling them Archie and Edith because of their constant comical squabbling around the nest.
I visited Fukuoka and Moji Harbor together with my wife at the end of March.
Moji Harbor is located at the northern end of Kyushu island and facing onto the Kanmon Straits.
Because the Kanmon Straits is so narrow strait, we can see the Shimonoseki town which is the western edge town of the main island of Japan.
I introduce some photos.
3月末に、家内と福岡および門司港を訪れました。
門司港は、九州の北端にある港で、関門海峡に面しています。
関門海峡はとても狭いので、本州西端の下関を見ることができます。

Not everyones favourite animal, but can still be quite comical when youngsters pop up out from the leaf litter!
Our yellow Lab … 5 weeks old and 11 years old.
He walked with a comical waddle at the time of the first picture and had trouble getting to his feet by the time I took the second picture, in early 2020.
Around the same time in 2020, one mixed-breed dog began pounding on another down South. The resulting litter of puppies would later be dumped on a roadside amid the worst of the COVID pandemic. Some would make their way north to a local dog rescue group, and one of them would join our family while we were all working from home.
Now the puppy alternately torments and snuggles with the old dog, and the old dog alternately seems a lot younger and a lot older than he did a year ago.
Postscript: The circle was closed June 6, 2021. Over the final 12 hours we fed him meatballs, bacon, pancakes and an ice cream cone to give him strength for the journey.
This image just reminded me of this saying somehow as the Gibbon slowly removed bits off the top of the grasses.
He loves me, he loves me not or She loves me, she loves me not (originally effeuiller la marguerite in French) is a game of French origin[citation needed], in which one person seeks to determine whether the object of their affection returns that affection.
A person playing the game alternately speaks the phrases "He (or she) loves me," and "He loves me not," while picking one petal off a flower (usually an oxeye daisy) for each phrase. The phrase they speak on picking off the last petal supposedly represents the truth between the object of their affection loving them or not. The player typically is motivated by attraction to the person they are speaking of while reciting the phrases. They may seek to reaffirm a pre-existing belief, or act out of whimsy.
In the original French version of the game, the petals do not simply indicate whether the object of the player's affection loves them, but to what extent: un peu or "a little", beaucoup or "a lot", passionnément or "passionately", à la folie or "to madness", or pas du tout or "not at all."
This fortune-telling is shown as a pantomime in the 1st act of Giselle, ballet by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot (Paris, 1841).
This comical looking creature with the oversized wings is another member of the planthopper family, this time in a sub-family with the tongue-twisting name "Dictyopharidae".
Dictyopharidae is a family of bugs in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha belonging to the suborder Fulgoromorpha.
All insects / arachnids are photographed in their natural habitat.
"You have suet all over your face!"
Redpoles at the suet/bird feeder last summer - he/she was putting their entire face into the suet - as you can see "its head is quite a mess" - I laughed out loud when I saw it and imagined the above comment being made by the partner. LOL!!
We're bracing for a huge snow storm - due in tomorrow - I expect the poor little birds will often be visiting all my feeders - just filled all of them.
Update - Monday - the storm is here and it's officially a "blizzard" - absolutely awful weather.
Rockport, Texas
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. Squadrons glide above the surf along southern and western coasts, rising and falling in a graceful echo of the waves. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction. (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Brown_Pelican)
A weird looking bug with attractive colors and comical looking "nose". Shot with a Takumar SMC 135mm f2.5 lens.
It was difficult to hold back the laughter when I caught this little owlet looking down the burrow where they all live when the are not out running around or flying . It was so comical how he got his head almost to the ground to get a good view of the hole leading into the burrow. These little guys can not help but make you smile.
Have a great and blessed night.
So funny. I love it. This is from Jaclyn for Just A Simple Postcard Swap #3 on Swap Bot. Toronto Canada, 1958
An unmistakable bird with its black back and white underparts, and distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and a tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. With half of the UK population at only a few sites it is an Amber List species.
When I turned around from photographing the comical scene on, under, and around Magnus' bed, this is what I saw. . . irresistible, no? Sadly, this dear boy keeps losing his lunch, so to speak. About 50 percent of the time, really. His breakfast was quite tasty the second time around, if you ask Bogart. After all, Bogart's quite fond of BaRF barf. I don't know what I'll do once Bogart is no longer around as Magnus doesn't quite have a palate for feline emesis. Maybe it's an acquired taste. . .

Great day with these comical birds at Staple Island one of the Farne Islands. Nikon 500/300mm + 1.4x TC.

In my titling, I guess I was trying to be comical to cover over the error in my photo! If you look carefully, you'll see I've caught the edge of my car window in the picture. I would normally have pulled over and taken the proper amount of time for picture taking, but there just wasn't room off the road. I love the picture of this barn; just couldn't seem to crop out the window's edge. Hope you like it in spite of that!

Ironically hypocritical and Comically tragic in every way
That's my family
I can truly say
If another was so lucky
To own this set of bodies
They would never move away
And visit everyday!
Because we're all so close
That when someone has an overdose
Of who-knows-what we get on a plane!
Or take a fast train!
Yes! No one will ever say my Aunt doesn't care!
For when grandma's sick she's always there!
Post haste without a care
My uncle,the closest, is a genius
Sometimes I think his brain's too tedious
He's oh so cleanly
And oh so friendly
But I must disdain
that from when I said
This was my family
I was being a bit vague and wrong
You see it was sarcasm all along
So you figured it out
My family is really ironically hypocritical and comically tragic in every sense of the way
And on most good days
I sit here and wonder
Am I really related to the others??
Wednesday afternoon Jays. Comical to watch, now getting a daily visit. Happy Days! - Have a good weekend
One of our 8 ducks caught looking rather comical as she pops her head above the grass around the dam.
I only took this because it is comical. This guy has been shoveling non stop while it keeps coming down. I guess he is just trying to stay ahead of it.
A grey squirrel stops briefly for some much needed itches and scratches, it's comical to watch as they are much like us humans. You could see the relief on his face as he hit the right spot !
