Trolling (t) (B/W)
Roberto really got a kick out of the myth that vampires can't handle daylight. Add to that all the wannabe vampires, well, it sure made for some good feeding during the day and left his nights free for bingo.
The above is a fictitious story. Vampires really don't play bingo.

Dead Drop (t)
It was a little windy the day I shot this in The Burying Point cemetery. I kept waiting for headstones to start flying, but, I had to settle on a few leaves flittering down to lie with the dead.

Got It Covered (t)
Shari and I are in the same space, but, usually try to shoot different perspectives or objects. You know, even if we did shoot the same thing, the end result is going to be different.

Just For You
Socrates was exceptionally happy with his Black Friday purchase. Little did he know that he would be the one to sample the quality of the elixir. As he found out, the elixir was all it was advertised to be!

Wise Decisions
Eloise was extremely disappointed after using the miracle wrinkle-removing cream she'd purchased from a door-to-door salesman.

Lucky
Lucille Maganti was one of the lucky ones. Lucky, if you consider having your arms and legs hacked off and your body nailed to a board, lucky. Of course, the alternative was to be burned at the stake!

No Escape (t)
Max Musca knew this was it. He would never escape alive. He was already into the 26th day of captivity which left him maybe two days to live. He would never buzz another garbage can. He would never stomp around another pile of dog poop. Max never envisioned his life ending locked up in a motel room. He would be the laughing stock of all future flies!

Always Watching (t)
I'm not sure what the gold-colored material is on this monument. Maybe a fungus. It certainly gives the monument some added texture. I'm thinking the monument is honed out of marble and has been in the salt air for some time.

Assistance (t)
Seymour loves signs. Normally, that wouldn't be of any interest to others, but, Seymour is a tortoise and he makes a pest of himself in the downtown area. He's always nudging someone to try to get them to turn him upside down so he can get a good look at signs. His actions are kind of annoying and occasionally results in scaring the crap out of unsuspecting walkers.

Silent, Almost
Leyland Praxmire didn't notice the lack of bird chirping nor the lack of rustling leaves. He didn't notice the shuffling of his own feet across unused railroad ties. Leyland didn't even notice that his intestines were dragging on the ground. The only thing Leyland was aware of was his ravishing hunger and the clicking of his jaw.

Broken In (t)
Just about the time a work boot starts to feel comfortable, it's usually pretty worn and time to replace. Despite the fact that I'm not usually crawling around or playing in the dirt, I manage to work a boot to the max.

Better Days
It appears this poor guy has been neglected for some time. It's kind of funny, I was always taught to make a "monkey face" when installing receptacles. Equipment ground on top or bottom? It doesn't really matter. Some suggest ground up when metal cover plates are used, ground down with plastic covers, ground up in health care facilities, do what the customer wants.

Losing The Battle (t)
The back of a structure on an alley between Main and Center Streets and 6th and 7th Streets. I'm not saying the building is abandoned. Maybe in dire need of repair?

Rat Rod Devil
So, I put a new hood ornament on the lawn mower this weekend. It's guaranteed to keep wasps away from me until Winter is over. I took it out for a test run and didn't see a single wasp. I think it's working.

It became immediately clear to the bombardier what was causing the bottleneck. Once that was cleared, the mission could continue.

Long Night (t)
It took Slim a few minutes to realize that sharks don't have windows or huge wings. Slim was lying on the tarmac and not at the bottom of the ocean. That's the last time Slim drank any of his brother-in-law's home brew.

Kept At Bay (t)
Stop here! Stop here! Ok, I'll just push the car. We can shoot while we walk! Hwy 1 in California is one of those routes that would be nice to walk or bicycle. There are just too many lost photo opportunities when driving.

Dine With Me (t)
The evening started with a nice local cabernet and candlelight dinner for two. Two hours later, it became dinner for four as the proprietor and three staff members dined on the original two diners. Hannibal's always makes for an interesting dining experience. Not necessarily for patrons.
Phone shot and then some stuff happened.

Slicing Air (t)
I watch these paragliders and wonder how much fun they actually have. No time to relax, always pulling, guiding, buffeting the wind, hoping the wind doesn't die over water or canyons. Besides that, how do you sip whiskey in one of these?

Rooftop
Just seconds before I pressed the trigger, there was a Beatles tribute band playing Get Back on top of the roof. Someone yelled, "You've been playing on the roofs again, and you know your Momma doesn't like it, she's gonna have you arrested!" The band split. The person who spoke the words was a Paul McCartney tribute person.

Realization (t)
Earless the Elephant Seal started thinking something was terribly wrong. He could see the waves lapping on the shoreline, but, the Sun was setting in the East. He stayed in school long enough to know that wasn't right.

Taking Up Residence (t)
Somewhere around 1926, Herschel Sloakum started hanging out at the YMCA. It made him feel like he was a part of the Army and the Navy since neither one would take him. The problem was that Herschel was killed in a hunting accident in 1845.

Cohabitation (t)
Pouch the Pelican doesn't mind sharing his rock with other birds and animals, but, he draws the line when it comes to cohabitating with sea otters. As far as Pouch is concerned, sea otters are nasty little scavengers always stealing his meals when he has the hiccups and a fish pops out.
