Lunch With 'Gator


This week, I've made the effort to carry my camera to work more often and get back into the swing of my lunchtime photo walks.  I fell out of the practice because I simply carry TOO much paraphernalia out the door every morning.  There is my lunch, and my tablet, purse, and sometimes my Ukulele, and sometimes things I need to present preschool storytime at one of the libraries, my coffee, my water bottle, etc. etc. The Finman calls me a pack mule. 

I'm sure he means it in the nicest possible way.

Anyway, I'm sure you can imagine why I got out of the habit of bringing my rather bulky camera.  Imagine my frustration at lunch Monday when I was forced to watch a hawk perching in a nearby tree being dive bombed by the neighborhood mockingbirds.  The grainy photos I took with the five megapixel camera in my tablet didn't really work out.  Thus, the camera is added back to the routine. 


Today, I spent the work day in Ocean Springs and headed down to the Inner Harbor Park for lunch.  What a treat to find this guy soaking up some sun.  It's not every day I have lunch with an alligator.

  1. I carry a small pocket-sized Canon camera in my pocket, and by and large it does well for me. I once saw a lady who had what I'll describe as a large purse with a handle and wheels, like a small piece of luggage. Don't laugh, it worked. Glad you had your camera that day to capture the alligator pic. :)

  5. Scott, I have two of those wheeled bags.. ones I bought just for the daily work pilgrimage. Would you believe they aren't big enough!

    Fin, you say the sweetest things.

    Silentwhisper, thanks for stopping in! I get to see them fairly frequently but they never lose their novelty. I get excited every time. :)
