Silver King is about to get gobbled up! I guess that will be the end of all those Charlie pics.
Don't get your hopes up just yet!
:roll:

Nice work swachski. :D
The best part is how she used a gator image I'd shared previously in this thread. Made it seem all too real to me. :)

I watched this anhinga recently spear a nice catch and bring it to shore:

She was proud and held it up as if to say, See? See what I caught?

Then came the business of consuming her catch:

But try as she might, she couldn't get the fish down her throat and eventually abandoned the meal after this shot:

Sucks to be her. Sucks to be the fish too. Looks like a Bream (or as we northruns call it, Bluegill. Was it?)

eta: On second glance I'm guessing Perch.

One more for the road, a brown pelican working hard for its living just before the water explodes from the impact:

I don't know, SK. That guy on the top looks a little arrogant to me.

:)
Another great pic!

That's how he appeared to me also. And he seemed to cop a serious attitude later when I saw him, and his buddy, deal with an intruder that had ventured onto their stump:

great thread. all pics are pretty awesome.

sk, what the heck, man? i think you should be getting paid for these photos. you have skills!


btw, i think it's very possible that this guy


might have been in inspiration behind the aero design of my bike.

I don't know about that, but I do enjoy sharing them here. Others are free to use them however they wish; except, of course, to make money from the images, which I doubt anyone from AW would attempt to do.

Oh yeah, I see the obvious resemblance. It took a few hits from this joint I'm smoking to make it out clearly, but it's there, all right. ;)

:roll: i'm serious though.
the way the bird tucks his neck in reminds me of the way the wheel is tucked in behind the frame of the bike.

I had to get some additional meds from the asylum, but I think I see a beak in the first bike photo. It just needs a little yellow eye painted on there.

*considers Photoshop once again.*

I especially like how the bird's chain drive connects to the sprockets just behind his tail feathers. :D

This egret, while viewed in a not-so-sober-state, might look like another aspect of cray's bike: ;)
