Humor in Photography


I just had to show you this photo of a Belted Kingfisherthat I came up with Saturday.  Cruising along the river bank of the Spring Creek, I spotted him in a tree on the opposite bank, about 125 yards away.  As I took a closer look through my binoculars, I realized that he had an enormous fish in it’s bill.  I think he was contemplating on what he was going to do with it.  After getting a few shots, I briefly looked away, and then he was flying down the river.  I don’t know if he still had the fish or if he had dropped it.

Now what do I do??

Now what do I do??

Here are a few more or less humorous images from the past.  I will let you enjoy the captions.  First this Northern Mockingbird.

This Mexican Ground Squirrel seemed to not like me intruding on his meal.

I got lucky and nailed this frog at the instant that he grabbed the butterfly.

I hope you enjoyed a bit of my weird humor today.  Click on any image to see an enlargement.
