Outtakes

At the ball game, the umpire was one of those photo-worthy characters that one comes across.


Looks can be deceiving. He was a most affable fellow.

Sue was also taken with this character.


When we got home, didn't we spy two bunnies across the street. Since my camera was in the car with the long lens attached, I grabbed a couple of pictures. I cropped them very differently in post. Make of that what you will.



While it would have been much better to photograph rabbits in a grassy field, it was a brief and pleasant bonus to an already pleasant evening.

Your certainly captured a great portrait photo of the umpire. Adorable bunnies. I haven't seen mine for several days now. I just like to think she has taken a vacation & will be back soon.

Wascally wabbits!

Granny Sue said...

Love those bunnies. That ump...I bet he could tell a tale or two.

Barbara Rogers said...

Fun to find a character who is willing for you to take his photos. Bunnies too!

DJan said...

So much fun to see your character and the bunnies!

Does the gray beard have a job in December as Santa?

Marie Smith said...

Great shots, all!

MARY G said...

Fun portraits. Do you ask permission when you do a study like this one, or is he in public domain?

Yes, that man looks like quite a character, like Santa Claus. The bunnies are cute, something I don't see here in Hawaii.

Cute bunnies. I like the 2nd shot best.

@Mary. They're doing a public thing, so I don't think about it much. Besides, it is going on an almost private blog that few people see.

Red said...

So moral of the story. Watch for rabbits in the evening.

He doesn't need much to play part of Santa.
Coffee is on and stay safe.

Cute rabbits. Nice shot, considering.

So cute! They remind me of Watership Down. :-)

I need to catch up with you once I get over my vertigo. Bummers. I don't know if working on all my trip posts as fast as I could (after returning from Tokyo) triggered the return of my vertigo even worse.

Photo-worthy, indeed! And the bunnies are terrific--along with the enigmatic line on the pavement.

Jenny the Pirate said...

Bunnies are always a bonus. As are characters. xoxo

Liz Hinds said...

He does look a tad grumpy! Glad to hear he wasn't.

Jenn Jilks said...

What a great ump!
And bunnies!!!

Margaret said...

I always think of portly men with white beards as affable. Santa-like?

Well, now we know what Santa does in the off season.
