If looks could kill.....a wild and grumpy little owl in the rain. Heavily cropped, poor light, not the best image quality, but I just liked the expression on his face.

So today SOMEONE flew across the room at about ceiling fan level. Know what that means boys & girls????? Time for a wing clip!!!! So, we went to the bathroom, and in 2 minutes it was done - NO pain, but OH he was mad - he HATES being held down for nail & wing clippings - HATES, HATES, HATES it! But now, things are safer for him, so I'm happy.

i love this boy.

this was the last chance for us to hang out with dustin, emelia and landen before they moved back to tennessee. i'm going to miss this little one the most.

A grumpy looking older man watches the story taking place below.

I thought this rock had a grumpy face with a buton yet stubby nose.

Ozzy seems to be making a grumpy face today. I don't think he's grumpy, but then again. Who knows?

I relocated my betta tank to work. Grumpy betta isn't impressed.

Yet another macro shot. Yeap, you guessed it, didn't take my 500/4 with me.

hehe.. didn't last very long though :)

I have a deep affection for the Grumpies. Chris hooked me up with their new run of shirts and I am proud to show it off. Everyone down South loves the mean bean. ;o)

Grumpy Man DJs traditional stagger-dance to finish the night to Johnny Cash's version of I See A Darkness, Sunday 25th February 2007.

Seen at Cafe Grumpy. $11,000 coffee machine not included; mileage may vary.

My first day using my new fish-eye adapter lens, now that I have the right adapter.

I saw this bear sitting on the shelf at Mevryn's, and then I had to own it. Look how grumpy it is!

Happy Halloween! If the rain doesn't stop before the trick or treaters are supposed to come out,I'll be grumpy too!

Cinnamon not exactly celebrating (or celebrating too much) the holiday season being grumpy

I was pretty grumpy after 2 long days of travel. And when we finally found the ocean in San Felipe it was pretty gross. BUT - it turned out to be pretty amazing after we adjusted our bad attitudes. See more photos...

I suppose these two polar bears make due in the warmer climate, but I have to imagine they're a bit grumpy in San Diego when they're more accustomed to the North Slope of Alaska.

- I can't believe those rats were responsible for this show!

- Why not? They were also responsible for the bubonic plague!

A guy I know somewhat said the other day that my best friend Karin & I sound like Statler & Waldorf. That made me laugh so hard. I love Statler & Waldorf, best hecklers ever.

I couldn't resist. He's *so* grumpy!

A picture of my girlfriends with loads of my pictures on a wall in the background. Converted to B&W and added radial blur around her face on photoshop.

A great way to start a day at the Fair...

Further down, this other fish monger at the Vinh Long market could surely use some cheer.

Hand over the treats already.

Nova in an unusual position, being a grouchy old man. I have never seen him sit this way before and I laughed so hard at the look on his face when I asked him what he was doing.

I relaly don't know what I was thinking! :D

There is always something new to slap you upside the head. I think that is why I find photography so challenging. Not only do you need to know how all of your gear works, from aperture to flash, but knowing how to get your subject to cooperate can be a long uphill pull.

For instance, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make a grandchild fake a happy smile. It's easy to get grownups to smile. Just tell them you're posting their photo on the internet. Great blackmail. But you can't make a cat a willing model for a portrait, even if you put catnip in a toy mouse. They LIKE their grumpy pictures on the internet.

I'm going to have to be more cunning. Use more tricks. I'm going to have to get inside the heads of children and cats, learn their weak points and use them to my advantage. This train hasn't reached the station yet, but when it does, I'm going to be the one tooting the horn.
