Little Red House

Between Naps on The Porch 

An Email …

---

I got this as an email…one of those chain things…

I don’t know if it’s true, who took the photos or anything about it…

but I don’t see how anyone could fake it!!! 

 These first 2 pictures were taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Thomas, Winter Haven, Florida.  The helicopter pilot and the game wardens on the ground were in communication via 2-way radios.

 

Here is a transcript of their conversation.

'Air1, have you a visual on the gator, Over'

'Approaching inlet now, Over'

'Roger Air1'

 

'Gator sighted. Looks like it has a small animal in its mouth....moving in, over'

'Roger Air1'

'Oh Crap it's a Deer!'

'Confirm Air1.. Did you say Deer?, Over'

'Roger.........a Deer in it's mouth...looks like a full sized buck....that's a big gator, boys.  We're gonna need more men, Over'

'Roger Air1.....can you give me a idea on size of animal, over'

'Its a big one.....25 feet at least, please advise, gator is heading to inlet....do I pursue?, over'

That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth!

The deer was later found to be a mature Stag.

If you ski at the west end of the lake ---- try not to fall overboard.

 

This alligator was found between Lakeland and Winter Haven Florida near the house of Anita and Charlie Rogers, who could hear the beast bellowing in the night.

Their neighbors had been telling them that they had seen a mammoth alligator in the waterway that runs behind their house, but they dismissed the stories as exaggerations.

'I didn't believe it,' Charles Rogers said, but after the alligator was killed, they realized the stories were, if anything, understated.

Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator.  Joe Goff, a 6'5" tall game warden, shown below, walks past the 28-foot, 1-inch long alligator that he helped shoot and kill in the Rogers' back yard.

WOW

Blog Fodder AKA Outtakes

I read a blog recently (can’t remember who or where) about the signs of being a blogger…

It mentioned cameras, tripods and assorted lighting set-ups decorating your home…

I thought I’d add my own..

1. A photographic “subject” staged and everything else in the room tossed out of the camera’s lens view…
2. A plethora of “projects” started or in various stages that live in our homes…
3. Camera lens, camera bags, camera filters, camera batteries etc. being all over your home and car…
4. An extra camera stuffed in your handbag or pocket…
5. Buying a cellphone on the merits of “camera” pixels…
6. Doing things or going places simply because it will be “blog fodder”…
7. Stalking the neighborhood pets or flowers for “photo opps”…
8. Your husband calling to ask if you’d like go somewhere on the merits of---“You would get some great shots of…”
9. Scheduling vacations or day trips according to the hours of “good lighting”..
10. Family events/dinners have to wait until the food is staged and photographed…
11. Spending time thinking about fonts and copyrights…

 

I have an idea…lets start a “group”…Bloggers Anonymous..I think it could help with addictive blogging…

 

I put off finishing this bedroom so that I could use the bedroom door as a table

and my step stool for a prop…notice the use of a “drop cloth” and a

thrifted tablecloth…on the right is my “project” awaiting work…

 

I guess I thought the little bird would be “interesting”…

 

I promise, cross my heart, these were not full of wine…even though it looks like the photographer

could have been…well…you know!!!

 

I’m not sure what I was trying to accomplish here…

but that is some great detail on that bowl…
