Almost comical in his juxtaposition, Wang Zi embodies satire and irony in his cleverly constructed works. The artist finds especial delight in the art of realistic painting and the ability to integrate fantastical situations as actual happenings. He possesses the technique of being able to turn imagination into a sombre historical event. Intrigued by the personalities of iconic figures behind the rose-tinted view of film and pop culture images, Wang Zi sometimes includes himself as a subject, caught in mundane everyday tasks with a popular celebrity. Through these almost comical situations, he wishes to display the icons on screens as the human beings they are - a disillusionment that struck him on the passing of Chairman Mao. He noticed the regression from a Demi-God of Political China to being simply a human being, albeit a powerful one, who bled and breathed the same as any other.

Small comical relieve.
So the crude, grey backdrop is our balcony. It's pretty sad place really. Well, it's been really hot, and our poor bunny, Inno, grey thing made of fluff on the left, has been overhelmed by the heat. So we took his cage to our balcony, since it's nice and cool, and he has made it to his kingdom now (as you can see from all the mess xD ). He is a grumpy gentleman, who takes very little intrest on people. As I was trying to take pics, he got interested about Tico, so I let him have a snif. Second later he wanted to eat his pants. Oh Inno...

This performer, officially say チョンダラー (I don't know how to spell in English, but it's like CHON DOLLER), has a important role in Eisa folk dance. Usually he is a man, painting his face in white and other colors like a comical performer (or Pierrot). Sometimes he dances, sometimes he goes on the hook during dancing, and sometimes he leads the team!
「京太郎」とかいて「チョンダラー」と読むそうです。ほかに「三郎」（サナジャー、サンダー、サンラー）という呼び方をするところもあるそうです。

Unfortunately our table found the dark swirl of aubergine puree too funny to not crack a joke or two at. Of course that was soon quelled with the first taste of this unctuous and concentrated mass of absolute luxury.
Roasted rack of lamb, confit breast, lamb Bolognese and provençale vegetables £10.50
Neither gamey nor overdone, the rack of lamb at maze was a glorious specimen of medium-rare. The juicy rib was drizzled with a tomato-based chunky bolognaise of ground lamb, another grand tableside performance which struck me as a two star gesture. More tasty lamb made its appearance on the plate as a square of fork-tender confit breast, an edible pedestal for the rib, with gently grilled vegetables, still holding on to their essence (taste, structure and personalities), surrounded the plate's star. However, the real scene stealer was the dollop of aubergine puree – so concentrated with flavour, silky smooth, and well seasoned that I easily dismissed about its rather comical soft-serve swirl appearance. It was *that* amazing.

ODC2. Sitting down.
I did get some photos of my father fully sitting down, but I preferred this one as it was far more comical. He has a habit of pulling faces like this, which I thought would bring some humor to the challenge. But again still at the National Trust, and I used him as my model for today (but lets keep that between us) *hehe* well, not too much to explain, so happy Sunday everyone.

A dolphin swam comically across the counter top. I paused to examine the amusing doodle. “Bored?” I asked the guy working the cash register. I had come into the sports shop to buy a pair of swim goggles.
“Yeah. It’s pretty slow. I mean like half the population is gone for summer,” he responded dryly.
Acting on impulse, I decided to ask him if he had a little time to participate in my project.
He kind of looked around and then shrugged, “It’s not like I’m doing much else”.
And that’s how I met Robert. Robert is a junior Exercise Biology major, taking summer session and working at the same time. He originally came to Davis on a water polo scholarship, an achievement he cites as one of his proudest moments, but stopped playing about a year ago. “I got in for water polo and I didn’t really have the grades to get in without it, so it was nice to get into a school that was a little out of my league at first. It felt good…it was just [too much] work—school and water polo. It’s tough.”
“So what would you rather be doing right now—if money was no object?”
“Probably go down to the Caribbean, do some fishing, surfing. Have fun down there. If I had to just do something today, I’d probably do that. I’m not even a big fish guy. I just like chilling and catching ‘em. I’m not very good at cooking fish though. Just throw it on the grill and see what happens.”
“Yeah? What’s your craziest fishing story?”
“Well let’s see. I was salmon fishing probably about five or six years ago and my dad had a salmon on his line and then a sea lion came up and grabbed it while it was on the line, so this other guy on the boat we were on threw the lead weighters, for the lines, threw them and hit the sea lion with it, so ended up catching the salmon—were able to reel it in. It was pretty awesome.”
Awesome indeed. Well thank you Robert for being Stranger #8 in my on-going “Everyone Has a Story” project. You can check out more photos and stories in my Flickr gallery here: www.flickr.com/photos/90296666@N03/sets/72157645877119662/
This harpsichord was comically out of tune. Like, not "a little sharp". Like, "notes were completely random". Like, "going up a half step on the keys would take you down a whole step". It was awesome.

No doubt it’s a comical personage!:))))
This bird got my attention for showing ostensibly its grumpy and wit look. Totally dark except some few white feathers under its chin, an almost stocky neck. Occasionally one is born pure white. It's not an albino they are dimorphic.
Sem dúvidas é um personagem cômico!:))))
Este pássaro chamou a minha atenção por mostrar ostensivamente seu olhar carrancudo e sagaz. Totalmente escuro exceto algumas poucas penas brancas sob o seu queixo, um pescoço quase troncudo. Ocasionalmente um nasce branco. Não é um albino, eles são dimorfos.

This little chipmunk was interested in the candy stick this gentleman had. Chip is not a professional dancer but was doing a good cha cha!
The usual comical, frantic, jerky feeding behavior of this egret usually allows it to be identified from a great distance off even though you cannot discern any of its field marks. It's my favorite large wader to watch trying to secure a meal. This bird, however was remarkably subdued... it was uncharacteristically calm and patient! This behavior is more typical for its larger cousin: Great Egret.

From watching Buzzards above the moors near Harden Moss to following a heron on the canal with a few comical goats thrown in I didn't have a bad weekend really. The Buzzards seemed to appear out of nowhere as usual, moving fast and flying high they took a bit of tracking. The heron on the other hand took an hour to walk from the other side of the reservoir to a point close to me. it stopped at an awkward angle for me to photograph it without me moving and being seen. It then did a short flight to the canal, I moved and sat on a parapet wall above a deep drop in to a canal lock. The heron skipped over the canal and came so close that I had to lean back as far as I could without actually moving and being seen just to get the bird in the frame. At times I could only get partial shots. It them flew past me, almost brushing me and landed nearby on the towpath. Fortunately on this Saturday evening it was quiet and as it walked along the towpath I shadowed it at a distance, it flew in to the canal and was eventually frightened off by dogs. My arms were killing me I'd been holding the lens and camera in front of me non stop for an hour, fighting the cramp in my left arm. The things we do.
The goats on the wall top were a bit of a distraction as I followed three Buzzards messing around in a field near a farm in the afternoon and I snatched a few shots, the one behind was headbutting the others from behind to make them keep moving, very comical.
Meerkats may look like prairie dogs, are really related to the mongoose. These comical creatures are inquisitive and alert at all times, you see them busily digging in the dirt looking for insects, making underground burrows.
These little carnivores live and work together in a group called a gang or a mob, helping each other to care for youngsters or keep a lookout for danger. If trouble is spotted, the lookout alerts the others and they all dash back into the burrows for safety. Fun to watch! :)
The Meerkat (aka: Suricate) is a small species of foraging mammal found inhabiting harsh open conditions in the semi-desert plains in southern Africa.
A member of the Mongoose family, Meerkats differ from Mongoose species in a number of ways with the biggest difference being that Meerkats are incredibly sociable animals, where most Mongooses are not.
Hope you enjoyed!
