213 : Figure Study -- A Gull

This supposed to be take and post a picture each day,and yes I have been very slack. This morning I made an attempt at stepping out of my comfort zone. I went to a location containing subject matter I was comfortable with but with a lens I seldom if ever use. Disaster, I had forgotten the lenses peculiarities. Later this afternoon I was back to my comfort zone and things got better.

A GULL
A full length Figure Study.

And what did the gull have say during this shot? "Man you are ugly. Let me look at you from a different angle to see if it is any better. NOPE, NO IMPROVEMENT."

23: Portrait or Snapshot

A couple of days back, when I was talking about the homeless guys, I mentioned Maggie had returned after a short absence. This prompted some questions as to “Who is Maggie?” Well meet Maggie May.



It seems that one day last week Maggie decided to take her provider (one of the Homeless Guys) out for a walk. She thought her provider was well trained and would behave so she did not put a lease on her provider. Well she was spotted by the police and was promptly carted off to jail, for violating the leash law. She was incarcerated for a couple of days. As a precaution she was given a physical, tortured with shots, and other indignities. As a condition of her release she is required to take regular monthly treatments. These treatments were supplied in advance by the puppy jail.

As you can see Maggie is a happy camper now he is back home in the “jungle”. She was so glad when she saw me today she let out a yelp and treated me to two big muddy paw prints on my shirt.
