Funny Twice Over

We were in the "Big Store" getting a few things and in looking through the tourist section, Layni picked up a pair of sunglasses, put them on and then tapped my shoulder....It totally made me laugh. She then implored me to take a picture, which I did.....

I came home and last night I was looking through my iPhone pics and then really laughed....when I noticed the background.....

FINALLY....I got it!

For many years, I've been on the look out for Roseate Spoonbills...I've been known to stop traffic if I see one. Roseates are solitary birds, so they don't seem to venture where I do very often. Today, on my way back from the Big Store in Crystal Beach, I decided to take a run through a neighborhood near our old house ( thanks Ike!), and lo and behold, there was a Roseate in the slough. All I had was my cell phone camera. Right.....I've been here before ....great time to take a picture, and all I normally have is a point and shoot. I took a picture with my iPhone....and then made a run for it! Back to the beach house over a mile a way to get my good camera...and then came back a took a few more pictures. It was well worth it. I got some GREAT pictures of the lone Roseate Spoonbill.
