So… you might be ‘used to’ my level of ‘random’. Er… I hope.

Maybe it’s just me, but he kinda looks like he’s expecting a package from ‘Acme’.

No peacocks were harmed or in any way mistreated during the production of this photograph. No word as of yet regarding their opinion of extremely shallow depth of field, though.

Francis Whitman: “We bought a snake.”
Brendan: “Its got a skull and crossbones on it…”

I’m cautiously trying to ‘hop’ back into the whole… non… absence thing. Also, I’ve come to appreciate animals that show no fear (or any ambition re: movement). Unless… you know… they’re bigger than me. Or rabid.
Delmar O’Donnell: “Can’t you see it, Everett? Them sirens did this to Pete! They loved him up and turned him into a… horny toad! Pete? Pete! Pete! Pete! Pete! Pete! Pete! Pete… it’s me… Delmar! It’s me… Delmar! Everett… what are we gonna’ do?!”
Everett McGill: “I’m not sure that’s Pete.”
Delmar O’Donnell: ” ‘Course it’s Pete, look at him! We’ve gotta find some kind of wizard can change him back!”
Everett McGill: “I’m just not sure that’s Pete…”

Flamingos make me think ‘Miami Vice’, so I decided to pump up the pink and aqua here. Then I noticed pulling the saturation back created a bit of a 60’s vibe. Hmm… Sonny Crockett meets Don Draper… that would be an interesting conversation. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Pete Campbell: “A man like you I’d follow into combat blindfolded, and I wouldn’t be the first. Am I right, buddy?”
Don Draper: “Let’s take it a little slower. I don’t want to wake up pregnant.”

It’s not just Jake. I get this look a lot. Reminds me of a guy at the DMV, hoo too.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Don’t worry… no animals were harmed or mistreated in any way during the production of this post. The above is a paper Morpho peleides from the St. Louis Butterfly House that I’ve strung-up in a pasta sauce jar (which I even took the time to wash out first). You’re welcome, fake butterfly.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

You should have seen this guy… he was literally covered in his lunch (I’m fairly certain one more piece of straw would have broken his back)! It was so distracting I spent about two hours airbrushing him. Then I decided the results were almost too clean, so I cropped off half my work and threw a ton of noise / dust / scratches at the poor dude.
*sigh* I think we could both use a bib. And maybe a glass of water.

And now, a conversation with my cat.
Dharma: “Meeeeow.”
Me: “I know, Dharma. I really don’t want to be taking your picture, either. The title pretty much says it all.”
Dharma: “Meeeeow.”
Me: “That’s uncalled for. The same to you, then.”
Dharma: “Meeeeow.”
Me: “Meeeeow.”
I hope you have enjoyed this conversation with my cat. Please keep in mind the ‘details’ would only get lost in translation.
