[U-Man]

I have another story. I was going along in my boat and saw a lone goose in the middle of the river. I grabbed my camera and snuck up behind it. I wanted it to take off and fly but it just kept swimming away. As I got close, I noticed that it was holding its head really funny. It was all scrunched up next to its chest. I then noticed a fishing line and spinner trailing behind it in the water. Since I had pissed off several of his kinfolk earlier in the day (as well as annoyed the aforementioned merganser), I felt that it was only fair to try to help him. After several attempts, I was able to scoop him up in my fishing net. He had a two-hook rig stuck in him. One hook was stuck in the beak and the other was stuck in his left shoulder. There was no way for him to extend his neck to feed or anything. I successfully got the hooks out and released him.

Hooked and netted –

Free!

/felt really good.
//would have done it even without the excuse of having chased some other birds. 🙂
///him? her? I can’t tell.

I was up in Michigan’s U.P. last week. I spent a fair bit of time annoying this merganser duck. I wish, I wish, I wish that I had captured the entire duck in this pic (and she was a bit less blurry). It was zipping by and I was panning with a 300 mm lens. I really like the background blur.

You’ll see one or two of her tomorrow.

I just like the phrase “think thinking it through”.

Count one vote for towed glider = flying.

Boo 🙁 Are you starting to feel like you’re turning into the farktography mom with how much youve been having to say no you cant do that recently?

Oh nos. Don’t feel like a farktog mom. I had the ?’s around that because I thought it was questionable. I lean toward the suspended =not flying too.

[U-Man]

does it have to be in flight?

My $.02 – It has to be airborne and it has to have wings. So something thrown, falling, gliding or otherwise in the air would be OK as long as it has wings.

/? Is suspended OK?

[U-Man]

Recently dead animals aren’t allowed on Fark. So, for this theme, neither of those would be allowed.

What if they’re just pining?

I only managed a single entry this week and was told by a friend that “14 ‘carrot’ gold” wasn’t nearly obvious enough. 🙂

Got it right away. I thought it was “14 ct gold plated”.

Morningbreath and schnee,

Thanks. That means a lot to me. While I’m still very much an amateur, I’m learning and I have a ton of fun with these themes. I don’t plan on giving up my day-job for a while. 🙂

schnee, about the parenting ‘skills’. My kids and I have had the swear-word talk. What do you know? What does it mean? etc. That particular chica already knew the eat-poop-and-die saying. Perhaps it was a bit over the top, but I’m OK with it.

[U-Man]

I don’t usually post here in the forum but just had to say that U-Man’s “gilding the lily” was not only inspired but an absolutely gorgeous photo – it was my hands-down favorite this week. 🙂

Thank you. Of the three I entered, it was my favorite. I think that the saying is just more obscure than, say, don’t cry over spilt milk.

Camel toe and Two peas in a pod are a couple that got my vote.

/voted for the wet pussy too. 🙂

[U-Man]

Sorry I didn’t get to this sooner–got a phone call. It’s certainly no worse than the yellow “pee” snow 😉 Doesn’t look particularly like actual feces, so you’re safe.

I had to post and run earlier. Thanks for responding. I saw it in time.

It’s s’posed to be more of an ‘eat shit and die’ thing rather than ‘shit-faced’ but either works. The kid is a relative. Yes, I received permission from her parents.

[U-Man]

Given the Fark rules, is this one allowed?

I have others. They’re just not as funny.

[U-Man]

Banned? Dirty? Will this not fly?

Naaa. That’s just good mildly dirty fun. I think it is SFW and completely OK for fark.

[U-Man]

Bears repeating.

I chuckled at ‘Mofo’s comment. I belly chuckled at your pics.

I agree with the comments about how difficult it was to choose which pics to post.

Nice variety of stuff – not all bugs and flower macros.

[U-Man]

Hey! I didn’t write that! Did I? 🙂

Oh nos! A thrown gauntlet! And me with no shallow DoF cuteness.

/madly scambles to search ‘the files’.
//looks again at the insane cuteness of schnee 2.0
///searches again.
////grabs camera with 50 mm f1.4. Screams at kid, “Wipe that jelly off of your face and look CUTE! And I’m serious! STOP CRYING and be cute!”
/////covers face with hands in abject defeat…..:)

schnee, why don’t you just crop out the car? Perhaps a square crop?
