Picture-A-Week 2023 - Week 25

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, June 19 and Sunday, June 25.

 

Next week marks the end of the first half of 2023. This would be a good time to start posting if you haven't already. 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Last week I shared a funny Father's Day gift from Daughter Kassi. This week was further proof that a sense of humor may actually be hereditary. Saturday found us at what we ended up calling Birthdaypalooza 2023 with a mass celebration of four family birthdays. It was a very nice day with the kids splashing around in the pool and inflatable water slide while squirting each other with a veritable arsenal of squirt guns. The adults sat around in pleasant 78° weather enjoying the food and drink while sharing stories and generally relaxing. Towards the end of the day, Kassi suddenly says; “I forgot the chicken arms!” She soon produced a ridiculous accessory for pet chickens that she had found online. A chicken was selected, the arms attached, and hilarity ensued.

 

Just Funny

I just returned yesterday from a roundtrip 7 day Alaskan from Seattle.  This was my second time visiting Alaska.  This morning I had to see if the photos of eagles I took from the Aleutian Ballad (season 2, Deadliest Catch) as we cruised out to pull crab pots turned out.  I'm not a photographer, just a picture taker, but I'm very happy with these pics.  I'm especially happy with the last photo because you can clearly see the fish in his talons.
