When you're hiking along, honing your photojournalism skills, your trusty assistant at your side, carrying all the things he insisted you didn't really need to bring...
 |
| Yes, that is my camera case, binoculars, and jacket. And no, I couldn't carry them myself because I had to walk around with my camera at the ready. |
 |
| Ok, that's a moth but butterfly sounds prettier. |
...and birds...
 |
| Does anyone know what kind of bird this is? I'm a photographer not an ornithologist so I have no clue, I just thought it looked cool. |
when you see a huge bird diving...
...and another one swooping...
and you run after them wildly, sure that you have come across a bevy of eagles, ignoring your trusty assistant's assurances that eagles don't nest in this area.
And you realize that they aren't eagles at all.
They're VULTURES.
Which means that, in light of all the swooping and diving and the sheer number of the creatures in the trees, you're pretty close to something DEAD.
That, my friends, is NOT relaxing at all.
This is funny. I remember one time we were driving down the road in the pickup and this HUGE bird flew down right in front of us. It flew right at eye level with this huge beautiful wingspan, so glorious and graceful. Yep… a vulture. Oh hum…:( lol
ReplyDeleteLol! They're so beautiful right until that moment you realize what they are!
