I remember a long ago Walter Lantz cartoon that featured Wally Walrus as a
photographer. Woody Woodpecker perches on top of the lens & bends over to look
into the end of it. When Wally looks into the viewfinder all he sees is an
enormous eyeball staring back at him.
Hilarity ensues.

Thanks Ann! I appreciate your comments.
Backstory(s) on the woman-with-bird shot…
1. Betsy and her husband Mark were our travel companions for this Ecuador +
Peru adventure. Betsy is one of those who always uses a polarizer and seldom
uses a lens hood because it interferes with access to the polarizer. I am one
of those that always uses a lens hood and seldom use a polarizer, even though
I know I should be doing that. I chide her about the lens hood, she chides me
about the polarizer.
2. Our naturalist/guide that morning in the Galapagos shoots with a Canon
with a long lens of some sort (probably a 70-200) with lens hood. He knows
that the Galapagos Flycatchers love seeing their reflections and have learned
that if they perch on the bottom edge of a lens hood, they can see themselves
reflected in the lens. He held up his camera as though to take a photo, the
birds came. Betsy has several shots of me with a bird perched on the front of
my 70-200 lens hood. I have several shots of the bird on Betsy’s lens. I
think the bird is chiding Betsy for not having a hood to sit on so that it
can see its reflection.

got to these this morning... Wonderful stuff.. , but gotta single out this
one for absolutely contest winning content.. I laughed outloud. A similar
shot (but without the great expressionon on the woman's face) won1st place
in one of the KINSA's I made the finals in back in the late 70's( or maybe
1980?) Her face belies what she must be saying to the bird.

A large gallery (132 images) of shots from my trip in late March this
year. Some of the shots are there because I am quite pleased with them,
others are there because I think they help to provide a visual travelogue
of sorts…
