How Not to be Seen
I often have posted shots with this caption, "How not to be seen." (From an old Monty Python sketch.) Some illustrate a successful method, some ..not so mucn.
Here are two from this evening down by the pond. I think one has a better plan than the other.
Please feel free to add any examples you may come across. :)
I may go back and pull a couple of oldies but goodies, myself.

- Is this a quiz? I don't see the critter in the second shot. LOL

Love your posts Deb. They are really quite good at hiding from the lens. As you already know, most the animals up here think if they can't see me, I can't see them, so they just turn their posteriors my way... in this case there were three or four Ptarmigan, they were being stubborn, and not giving me the "head" shot... but I did notice their remarkable camouflage coloration, matching with the surrounding rocks... here is one of them

Those birds are very good at HNtBS!
Andy and TW, there is a grasshopper in the middle of that shot. :)

How about this one? Usually these swallowtails stand out in any picture, but I almost missed this one.

- That's a really unusual shot, Bebop. Real pretty, but quite different.

Interesting how something as functional as doors can have such varied personalities.
Wow, beautiful pieces, Louie.
Beautiful, TW. Another chicken!
I was hoping there would be a photo to document this! I feel like I know you both so well.
Gorgeous shot. Lovely sky.
All sides have been repaired.
Great stories about these carvings. Wish I could remember them.
When our guide told us about the decapitation I could not believe it. They played for blood!
These guides are amazing. So much additional info that you would not know by just walking the grounds.
Smart man, going up on your butt side.
scary.
