I took this shot a couple of days ago of a bird at the Botanical Gardens while eating a cookie.


Took this shot one handed while walking and carrying a bag of cacti when my daughter pointed and said: frog!

She’s always been beautiful.

This photographer could have saved 4 years and a lot of money by buying this issue of Playboy.

However, I knew an Eurasian girl who would have posed for him for a few dollars and he would have saved a lot of time and money because of her.

However, if the photographer liked 4 legged Eurasian beavers, who am I to deny him his voyeurism.

There's a really good eating fish in the Gulf of Mexico called Red Snapper here in Texas. A couple of co-workers were sent to Chicago for training for a week. One night they went to a seafood restaurant one of the guys asked the waitress "Do you have Red Snapper?" and they almost got thrown out.

#49. There was an actor (real name was Norman) in the movie “Romancing the Stone” who kept saying “Look at them snappers”. Any relation to the Ukrainians?

I once went out with a girl whose last name was Beaver.
Don’t ask.

Looking at snappers/beavers from any angle, nationality is never relevent. Don't discriminate is my policy!

There's a fish in the Gulf of Mexico that Texans call Red Snapper. It's good eating and any decent seafood place here has it. Some co-workers were sent to Chicago for a weeks training. One night they went to a Seafood restaurant and one of the guys asked the waitress "Do you have Red Snapper?" they almost got thrown out. By the way when you order tea up there they'll bring you a cup of hot water with a tea bag. What's up with that?

That’s an old racist joke I heard in the USAF back in the 50’s.

Decades ago, was at a lecture given by Harold Edgerton at the USCGA. Edgerton invented the strobe light, which opened the way for images to be captured in the deep.

He was talked into, going to Loch Ness to look for the monster with side-scan sonar. He made it very clear, he was a non-believer. But after days and days on the lake, he caught some grainy images of *something*. He was quite surprised and began to believe that *something* is lurking there. After seeing his images, convinced me, that it could be true, that Nessie exists.

once believed to cure everything from headaches to hysteria

How ironic. The Eurasian beaver is quite unlike the North American beaver.

If you click this photo so that it expands - you might find four or more frogs.
