{doe•ee•bird} photography for little peeps

The craziest things happen to me on shoots, like here and here.

On this shoot, I do believe I came face to face with Satan himself. Or at least one of his accomplices.

I was busily taking pictures of this beauty...

When her brother...

Got a little too close to the fence separating us from this thing...

And it became quite upset.

(OK, I know this pictures is bad, but I was not about to get close enough to get a good one)

Have you ever seen a mad emu/ostrich/pteradactyl/whatever it is?

It's eyes literally glow red with fury, and it is NOT afraid of humans. All I can say is I thank my stars there was a fence between us and IT. Had there not been one, we may have been nothing but bird droppings by now. After we ran for our lives, we realized how funny it was and returned to peep at it. By then the bird was done with us.

OK, pop quiz- what does her expression remind you of?

Hint- it's one VERY famous painting that I think is in the Louvre in Paris right now.
