Poor Angie should've taken her zebra float across the falls:

Whatever happened to Angie? I thought for sure she'd come back to this thread by now and show her appreciation for our undying love and concern for her well-being. 
I crossed paths with another ferocious beast today, this one as it tore its food to shreds and growled at me as I approached:
I see one of those a lot of nights in my headlights when I drive home. I'm surprised the dogs don't chase after them. Maybe the meat tastes "too gamey" for them.

I thought I recognized you bobbing around in that picture:
What? It was hot that day.
Here, Angie:
Not sure what you're supposed to do with it, but the rope is all tied up in a neat little package for you!
Thank you EVER so much.
oh, I don't see this ending well....
Angie! Take this!
No need. I'm an excellent swimmer. Look how happy and unconcerned I am.
Stay calm, Angie. I'm coming for you.
Grab onto the treble hook.
Pff. Like I haven't heard THAT one before...
Ah, I bet Angie is just replaying that scene from A River Runs Through It...with Brad Pitt plunging downriver. She'll wash up in an eddie in no time.
Gah!!!
The barrel just gets in the way.

That is just...so wrong.

Yes, I can feel everyone's love from here.

He is surely kin to the killer rabbit of Caerbannog. The most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered creature you ever set eyes on!
Hey Angie, there's a phone call for you. Say's his name is Eddie.
And now for something completely different:
That's just like one of the plastic poppies they give out on Veteran's Day (Remembrance Day in Canada and Commonwealth countries).

You were a very brave fish getting that close to that beast for us.
It could've ripped your fins off. I'm so glad you survived your waterfall adventure, Angie! It must've been due to all the help you received in here. I love it when a community pulls together. It's so endearing.
Very cool pic, swachski. Is it some sort of cactus?
The flower is an oriental poppy. It was just emerging from it's outer pod...kind of like a butterfly. I even think the petals resemble a butterfly's wrinkled wings when it first comes out of it's chrysalis.
So, the green fuzzy cap thingy was just perched there, and when the flower fully opened, the cap dropped to the ground.
I got a new camrea for Mother's Day! My technogeeky son researched them and chose one that takes macro images, cuz he knows I like taking extreme close-ups of stuff. I'm looking forward to trying it out...now I just need more FREE TIME!!

Great pics, all of you. I tried my hand taking shots of the ocean last week, but I ended up with more of the same. Blurred images due to my unsteady hands. I ended up about 4' from a barking seal and kept thinking what a great picture it would be, but all I have to show for it is a brown blur sitting on a bigger black blur (rock) with a white blur (seagull) to one side.
So, I'll just be content to see all of your pics. Keep it up!

I'm still quite shaken by the encounter, and the beast's evil glare haunts my dreams...You were a very brave fish getting that close to that beast for us.
Great clip! Thanks for sharing it here.
I read a story some years ago about a woman on a boat who was attacked by a barracuda while talking to a friend. She was wearing a gold bracelet and waving her arms about when the fish torpedoed from the water into the boat and latched onto her wrist. She was badly injured and nearly lost her hand.
Some fishing boat captains, for good reason, require their clients to remove all visible jewelry before boarding.
Can't wait to see pics taken with the new camera.
I have the same problem at times, which is frustrating. But if you own an older camera, one of the issues could also be that the images are slow to process onto the memory card, and you have to hold the camera steady a second or two after the shutter release has been depressed to allow extra time for the image to transfer.
Not the best shots, though very challenging to capture when the mom was nearby and in no mood to receive visitors.
