So. I have decided that leaving your desk unattended for 11 days has some definate downsides. One - piles become very large. Two - 11 days worth of work squeezed into 5 makes for some interesting moments upon your return. Three - it just really stinks that the work fairies apparently took off the same days I did. *sigh*
Enjoyed my time away though. Week 8 was still supposed to be a winter theme. Feb 20 - 23 I was still south of the snow line and so the handful (litereally barely picked up my camera on the drive home) of shots that I took before diving into catch-up mode at work didn't give me much to choose from for a blog-a-ble photo.
I took this shot while sitting in the WalMart parking lot waiting for my mother to pick up her script. I'd been feeding Cheerios to a group of "wild" Muscovey ducks living in a pond next to the parking lot. Within seconds of the toss of my first handful to the ducks, the sky was full of gulls. I captured this fellow as he hovered over my head just waiting for me to give in and toss up a few pieces.
