Lens Artist Challenge #349 – The First Thing I Thought Of…

Tina leads this week and invites us to share some humor with our photos, by providing our first reaction. Many times, when I capture photos of birds or animals, I already have some catchy caption in mind. Follow along and you’ll see what I mean.

Let’s talk about horses. Those wonderful, graceful creatures that have deep souls and sometimes quirky personalities:

“I sure do wish the judges would hurry up! I’m sleepy.”

Who says birds have to be “of a feather” to flock together?

Meeting of the Minds

Perhaps they’re also a little on the shy side and like hanging out by themselves, especially during bathtime.

Splish Splash I was Taking a Bath

Let’s not forget the chipmunks. We could sit for hours watching them scurry around the yard gathering food.

Peek a Boo!

Dogs do the darndest things, too!

Always Waiting on a Woman

Thank you, Tina for encouraging us to find the humor in our images.

Anne from Slow Shutter Speed leads next week challenge.

Until next time,

Lens-Artist Challenge #196: Humor

This week’s host, John of John’s Space challenges us to explore HUMOR in our photography. I had to scratch my head a little bit for this one. Did I have any photos that fell into this category? And then, suddenly a flood of memories of photos I’ve taken over the years started coming back to me.

First up: Backyard critters!

Our backyard critters, like these squirrels, are always quite humorous and entertaining! Seriously, the way they twist and turn their bodies to get to the food is quite fascinating to say the least!

Dogs:

Dogs have such wonderful personalities. They’re like kids and come up with the most unexpected!

And then, life just happens!

Well, the U.S. Post Office may not think this photo is as funny as I did. So much for getting through sleet and snow!

Everyday Humans:

I don’t know if this guy was supposed to be Shakespeare or Christopher Columbus, but he definitely turned a few heads as he came strolling through the bar in Beaufort, SC.

“Feed the birds… Tuppence a bag….” This man was a regular at the Pier on St. Simons Island, Georgia. He definitely had them eating out of his hands and off his head!

Things that make you go “hmmmmm.”

And then there are things you stumble on and wonder about the person who came up with an idea like this?

Signs. Signs. Everywhere a sign.

And of course, you can’t forget about the “signs that are everywhere!

Thank you, John for this fun and humorous trip down memory lane and the reminder that humor is all around us, even when it seems like the world is in utter chaos!

Keep your camera handy, folks! You never know when that once in a lifetime photo-op will happen!

Until next time!
