Portrait Of A Boulder...

This boulder had so many personalities... I couldn't help but capture them!

Coming for a pet

He was reminding me to refill the feeder

This grumpy osprey had just finished shooting some "silly string" at my feet, and apparently was not happy I was on the trail that day LOL.

Making my annual pilgrimage to my accountant and not wanting to deal with the potholes, kamikaze taxi drivers and outrageously expensive parking I take the train into Manhatten to take care of business and in the 65 years of riding the trains is with exception of people heading to a ball game or some other special events subways are filled with tired looking people with mostly dour expressions going to and from work.

A Yellow-crowned Night Heron is very upset that passers by woke him up.

Grumpy Bird is a Superb Starling and they live up to their name. They are not only amazingly colourful but they also have loads of personality. Superb Starlings are an African species and I took this photo in the aviary at our zoo.

Grumpy girl. She did not like that I had the camera out.

Distant pic of a Dollarbird looking like it has lost its last cent. These are Australia's only member of the colourful roller family which appear around this time of year on their annual migration from Indonesia and New Guinea.

Somehow they all look grumpy head-on.

Rupert looks grumpy after I woke him up from a deep sleep to take this photograph. 11:14pm, Thursday the 4th of May, 2023.

I ended up breaking one of the eggs "head" as it rolled out of the carton. A bit of light fun for the challenge of out of place.

Malta's cats

True story: on this beautiful sunny Sunday morning I cruised by to check out this fellow for my 29th picture. I paused for a four way stop intersection and glanced around for an empty parking spot.

A motorist, with a temperament similar to this fellow's, rolled up to my rear bumper and laid a heavy hand on his truck's horn for a deafening three second blast. As I often do with grumpy drivers, I rolled down my window and gave him a big friendly wave in response. :-)

Geez. Some. People.

A Yellow-crowned Night Heron shows he’s definitely not a morning bird with that expression.

I can imagine hearing this old Walrus in the front saying, if you boys don't knock it off, I'll...

2 different groundhogs with similar expressions.

My last outing before lockdown No1

This seagull look like it does not prefer tourists who coming to Venice.

Hope you folks wont be too hard on me for the slight camera shake ;)

Sulks more Large on Black

But still pretty

You know the member of the family who's perpetually miserable and never stops complaining?

Perhaps get this printed onto their next birthday card!!
