What are You Looking At?
Tina wants us to have a little fun this week. She has challenged us to create captions for our photos that will hopefully make you smile. I still laugh whenever I see the bird in the above featured image.
We were in a small tour bus in Alaska looking for brown bears when we stopped to observe a mama and her cubs. When this curious cub got close to the bus and stood up our guide started up the engine and we got out of there in a hurry.
I was photographing Roseate Spoonbills that were nesting in the trees at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm when this Sponbill looked right at me.

You can take my picture now!
As we were driving along a remote road in Alaska this moose decided to cross the road in front of us. We slowed down and followed him until he ran back into the forest.
The Laurel and Hardy Museum in Harlem, Georgia had many great displays featuring this famous comedy duo.
The sky was filled with hot air balloons soaring above me at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
Cheers!

I am excited to announce that I am joining the Lens-Artists team as one of the weekly hosts. I am honored to join this group of incredibly talented photographers who bring you these challenges every week. I’ve had fun participating in these challenges for several years and now I’m looking forward to hosting and seeing all of your responses.

Beth, welcome to the team! I’m happy to have you around as a regular team member. This post is so joyful. The images brought me good laughter. I gotta say that not many people can say they have a spoonbill photo from that angle you got. Awesome!

Nora, I just happened to be next to the right side of the bus next to the window when the bear cub stood up. He didn’t look too big until he stood up! Thank you for your kind words about joining the Lens-Artists team. I think it will be fun.

John, thank you for the welcome. It will be fun. When we when went to the Laurel and Hardy museum it was a stand alone museum. I think it is now part of the Harlem Museum and Welcome Center Home of the Laurel and Hardy Museum. Harlem is located a few miles off of I-20 near Augusta.

I’m glad, too. Otherwise, it would have a totally different ending and I don’t mean for the bear. 😬
