The Fiat-based Vignale Gamine is no Noddy car despite its comical appearance. This rear-engined two-seater was based on the same platform as the brilliantly fun Fiat 500, but it wasn't produced by Fiat. Instead it was built independently by Italian coachbuilder Vignale, which is why its official name is the Vignale Gamine.
This striking red and yellow Fiat 500 Gamine, manufactured in 1968 and first registered in the UK in September 2003 as FNE 37F, was seen in the Cotswolds.
A repost for Happy Caturday’s theme “make us smile”. I never tire of this image of Spyder as it always brings a smile to my face and a little chuckle.
Hope this image evokes similar emotions and makes you smile especially during these surreal and scary times, stay safe everyone. Happy Caturday!
He's a regular, the only time it is quiet is when it is devouring the dead bees. It is comical when it gets excited!
Hello everyone. I am home and feeling better than I thought - just a dull ache. Painkillers are great LOL.
Tipping the scales at no more than 12 pounds, this humanlike toy of complex character has enough personality for 10 ordinary dogs. A sensitive companion for discerning grownups, the Brussels Griffon is smart, devoted, and comically self-important.
Mule deer. My back porch. No crop.
500mm @ 12 feet...and he was getting closer...
HMMM! youtu.be/LpJOxbaC8YU
When you follow the instructions and “Press here”, it says in a comical voice:
…. “I love you! I love you! mwah!!”…..

There were many reasons to visit Iceland in August but on the top of my list was seeing the Atlantic Puffins.
Iceland has the largest Puffin population in the world and we took a ferry over to the Westman Islands where the biggest colony spends their time on the cliffs between May and August breeding & raising their young. The remaining eight months is spent out at sea, resting on waves and fishing.......what a life!
See one of the fledglings below (called a puffling) being escorted back to the water. Often the young ones get turned around & head into the city when it's time to leave their cliffside home. The locals are always on the look out for misguided pufflings & they are safely taken back to where they belong. youtu.be/tn1Ym3TQdiI
Brown, aquatic bird with brilliant blue eyes. Tiny, stunted wings look almost comical and seem out-of-place on such a large bird. Endemic to Galápagos (where it is the only cormorant), and restricted to rocky coastlines of Isabela and Fernandina islands. Breeds throughout the year in small colonies. Often seen carrying large clumps of seaweed, which it uses to build its nest. (eBird)

My daughter made cookies. These beasts only care about the temperature (warm oven) part of baking. :)
Sometimes the loon looks elegant and other times comical. Here he is shaking off after diving for food.
If you've ever riden a young horse that's just under saddle then you may relate to this one.
Sometimes just about anything can cause these youngsters to lose it, and eat your lunch.
And just when you think it won't happen to you, It will. lol
These little birds like to do things as a group. They especially like to run up and down the sand to escape approaching waves, and then to follow them back as they recede. It's hilarious to watch. Anyone know what kind of bird they are?
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. We were visiting Half Moon Bay, California this past weekend, as the ocean provides numerous types of birds regardless of the season. While photographing other birds this large pelican flew right over our heads and up the camera went to capture this image. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction.
Sometimes when Raerae is doing her invisible spying behind the net curtain it looks there are three cats on the windowsill.
Raerae, her reflection in the window, and her shadow against the net curtain :-D

This was her effort yesterday LOL! - she might have been feeling a bit too plump to jump.
Though she can really leap when she feels like it.
For this weeks Flickr Friday 'Jump' theme. 😃

There is something a bit comical and comforting at the same time in this image. I got it earlier this year when Jody Wells www.flickr.com/photos/134270033@N06 discovered this Northern Shrike at the Saanichton Spit. This image is not meant to be a "Northern Shrike" image, it is an image about nature and resilience of our wildlife. Look at the size of this bird in relation to its environment.... things are falling apart but birds strive and it is comforting to know this, however we need to continue to care. I have a bluebird picture perched in a similar fashion that I will share on another HFF. Hope you all have a great weekend with great photo opportunities.
Comical Puffins are at it again!!
Captured on the Aberdeenshire Coastline whilst out a walk after work.
Taken on my Nikon D5500 DSLR
with the Sigma 150-600C Contemporary lens and 1.4x Converter.
Captured handheld at 850mm.
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea). This grey heron strikes a comical pose in its preening - its head is under there somewhere!
Grey Seal pups resting above the tide line, while the adults were seen feeding off shore on a recent wildlife shoot.
Happy Weekend to all :-)
Taken for the Saturday Self Challenge "Birds"
We are lucky enough to have a few breeding colonies of these comical birds in Scilly but each of them is on an uninhabited island where it is either illegal or impossible to land. As a result the only photographic option is from a boat. The challenges being very different to that if you are lucky enough to visit a colony on land. The light was lovely last Saturday evening after the challenge was announced but the sea conditions were less than ideal being a bit choppy in the cold easterly winds. Having reached the small island of Mincarlo there were plenty of Puffins on the water and having secured some shots of sitting birds I upped the challenge to myself in an attempt to capture an acceptable flying bird shot. These are surprising quick and erratic little birds and capturing a bird in flight, standing on a rocking boat with a long lens is not easy. I am pleased with the end result though and it was an added bonus that this bird had a beak full of sand eels as it returned to the nest.

The grand stairway has 171 steps. All day, many people are in this stairway continuously. Some events, such as a live concert,a comical dialog and so on, are opened at every weekend.

Adult male Common Eider bouncing off water as it lands
New England region, East Coast, USA
It is very comical to watch these ducks landing 😂
At this particular spot, you will get multiple occasions to get shots like this one even with a shorter lens. This photographs was taken with a 100-400mm lens on a full frame camera. Yes, I will describe in detail where you need to be situated to get such photograph in my upcoming guide to photographing waterfowl in New England region - www.greggard.com/location-guides/common-eiders-new-englan...
Thank you in advance for kind comments!

I entered the Epiphanie Camera Bags Picture It photo contest. bit.ly/xN3Pqc
These critters are always full of personality and comical expressions. I love photographing them.
Captured this whimsical shot while driving through Virgina. Good for a smile!
7DWF Wednesday Theme: Close up
Is it just me, or do the kids heading into the water look a bit like aliens?
Minor point of interest - the driftwood sticking up from the sand is the same as in one of my horse shots from 13 July last year. It must be part of a big tree that's stuck very firmly into the sand.
And you can see how much the stream has moved!
And I thought the bit to the left looked like an arm reaching up out of the sand.
Taken at Himatangi beach, NZ
Taken on the Isle of Lunga, Scotland. We took a boat trip with Staffa Tours to Lunga and Staffa. If you're ever up that way I can highly recommend this trip.
Many thanks to all who comment, fave or just enjoy looking, it really is very much appreciated!
We wish you all a very happy Christmas and a fabulous New Year!! And thank you all for your very kind support through out 2008 we are very honoured to have such dear flickr friends!

When I fill the bird feeders, I sometimes sit down and set the pitcher with bird food down. 1 chipmunk climbed inside and another came along and scared the other one out making him jump high in the air out of the pitcher. These guys are really funny to watch.
A juvenile American Bittern strikes what appeals to me as a comical pose at a wetland in southern Alberta, Canada. The effect is created by the fluffed-out feathers and of course the way the eyes appear in this view.
