Just Before Dining on Pentax

Posted by Judy Andrus Toporcer (Colton, United States) on 4 June 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

We took our grandson to the BioDome in Montreal last weekend. It's a great place (though pretty low light for photographing anything moving...). At the end of the day, when most visitors had left, the wildlife began to emerge from the shadows. This roseate spoonbill seemed harmless enough, and he pretty much ignored me - until apparently I got just a little too bold... WHACK!!! That curved beak tried to take a chunk out of my camera! Luckily all he got hold of was the lens hood, so no harm was done.

Welcome to my view of the world, sometimes seasoned with a strange sense of humor; sharpened by age. I hope you enjoy the things I see.
