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.
These comical faces appear more than once, in different colours, on both sides of the tracks. I like them - they're more memorable and instantly recognisable than a nickname or an abstract squiggle. I'd kind of like to have that image on a t-shirt or something.

This was comical to watch , no matter how small the dog was compared to the branch he certainly wasnt in a rush to give it up..lol
Highly playful and physical, and at times teasingly comical – this is a cheeky dance celebration of the child within.
Combining quirky, dynamic dance with high energy street gymnastics, the dancers in this performance blaze a colourful trail across the structures and landscapes of the playground. Each performance will be unique, as the show scrambles around, over, under and through swings, slides and roundabouts. Kids will love it, grown-ups will love it too!

He loves this giant bone... and i love it because it's too big for him to move or actually get his jaw around.. so he can only drag his teeth along it and lick it. He still inflicts quite a bit of damage on its edges but i dont have to worry about him breaking bits off and choking.. and it keeps him in place... .. no running off and hiding with this bad boy.
he's not bad for resource gaurding but does run and hide when he gets really good stuff.. which of course means we insist on taking it from him . we give it back of course but we want him to know that he has to let us have whatever he's got in his mouth.. and that it's not a bad thing if mum and dad come buy when he's got something tasty.. this giant bone is good practice.. and he doesnt even try and take off with it anymore.. he knows if we take it.. he'll get it back right away.. and if not.. he'll usually get a different little treat as a trade for it.

The distinctively spatulate bill of the Eurasian spoonbill lends this tall, pure white waterbird a slightly comical appearance. During the breeding season, adults develop a crest of pointed and drooping plumes, as well as patches of yellow on the upper breast and the tip of the bill. The rest of the bill is black, as are the long legs. The sexes are similar in overall appearance but the male is somewhat larger than the female, with a longer bill and longer legs. Juveniles resemble the non-breeding adults, but have pinkish bills and black tips to the wing feathers .
The Eurasian spoonbill forages alone or in small groups, wading methodically through shallow water whilst sweeping its distinctive bill from side to side in search of prey. Small fish, aquatic insects, shrimp and other invertebrates comprise the bulk of its diet, but it will also take algae and fragments of aquatic plants, although these may just be accidentally ingested. Foraging activity generally peaks around morning and evening, except in coastal areas, where it is governed by the timing of low tide.
Populations in the north of this species’ range breed during the spring, whilst in the tropics the timing of the breeding season coincides with the rains. Most breeding pairs nest in monospecific colonies, or mixed species colonies in which they tend to form small monospecific groups. The nest is a platform of twigs, sticks and other bits of vegetation located on the ground on a small island, or up to five metres above the ground in dense reed, bushes, trees or mangroves. The female usually lays three to four eggs which are incubated for around 24 to 25 days before hatching. Reference ARKIVE & Wiki

We bought the dogs new chew bones yesterday. Little Sally has no concept of just how tiny she really is. In her mind she is a Big Dog and is entitled to the biggest bone, which she took right out from under Tonka's nose (He is a 65 pound 8 month old lab/Chow mix). She did however leave the much smaller bone for him.
There's just something comical about this pair! I think it is the way the sun is backlighting the ears. At the end of a long (and grey) day getting nowhere with the camera, these sheep just stood there looking at me, as if to say "well, are you going to take a picture or not?"
So, I got my gear out again and they waited patiently until I had finished. Very nice of them. They were also the only two sheep in the field not plastered in red and blue dye!
It's not my normal stuff, but everyone who has seen it so far has just either giggled or gone "aah"...

While Missy & I were sitting outside this evening, we met a new neighbor dog. I believe his owner said he was part Norwegian Elkhound. He is a handsome fellow who LOVES to crawl through the grass on his belly. Quite comical!
All the pictures of Leif came out blurry because he was always on the move. :(
There are few things funnier that an angry wet cat. However Kafka never gets angry.
Even when dunked into a vat of water the most he can muster is a comically Not Amused impression.
Born in Victoria, BC, Canada in July of 1965, Warren is a pioneer of highly detailed comic art.
He has adhered to fine art sculpting principles throughout his long career and is considered the most consistently representative comic sculpture in the world.
As a youth in the Fairfield area of Victoria, Warren was encouraged by a number of mentors and teachers to sculpt in the free-standing form, a practice he has never strayed from. One of his funniest memories was when he was a young and impressionable teenager in an advanced sculpting class. Warren was enthusiastic when the teacher said they were going to sculpt a live model one evening. He was not quite prepared as the beautiful woman completely disrobed on the stage in front of the students. Being the shy, youngest member of the class he quickly turned around and sculptured a very long haired woman rising out of a rock at the waist. The model was not pleased with his work but the teacher loved it!
warren stratfordWarren soon began to concern himself with his lifelong objective: portraying the variations of humor and atmosphere brought on by comical things he thinks about. Rather than copy others as was the traditional practice of young artists, Warren learned from people around him, from the landscape itself, and from the works of his older contemporaries. Warren’s representation of humor are based on his observations of people he meets and interviews.
He often shows natural color by breaking it down into its different components as a prism does. Eliminating dull and boring from his palette, Warren rejected entirely the academic approach to comic sculpting.
Warren gIn the Signature Series Warren allows his vision of light to dissolve the real structures of his subjects. To do this he chose simple subjects, making several humorous studies of the same subject at different occupations or activities.
Warren shares his time between Asia and his home town Victoria. Look for more Signature Series as Warren is always finding humor wherever he goes.
Warren’s work is particularly well represented in shops around the world. It is also included in many famous private collections.
Quite cheeky and comical birds to watch, I was delighted to get it showing its crest out. This cocky had been watching me as I put out feed for the rosellas and thought it would join in for a period of time before taking off.
I flipped up the hat and it becomes a pottery master!
I can't stop giggling when I look at him, I think it's just me... I love these comical eyes!

A surreal, comical artwork of a lobster reclining on a plush pink seashell chair at the bottom of the ocean. The lobster lounges casually like a human, holding a frothy pint of beer in one claw. In the background, a sleek submarine cruises by, launching a torpedo that humorously fizzes like carbonation as if aimed at the drink. The underwater setting glows with soft, filtered light, adding depth and atmosphere to the whimsical scene. A playful mix of fantasy, satire, and photorealistic detail, 8K cinematic style.
It's comical how they portrayed Stalin, as a great military leader. He was quite the opposite. Had it not been for the worst winter in fifty years, and endless supply of Russian soldiers, and then a second front, the Soviets would have lost to the Germans. Then the British and American's would have had to defeat Germany alone.
