Not so great to read while I was having breakfast, but hey...<br />They are amazing and it's good to remind the population that every creature has its own unique purpose in life and all are good, though often many are perceived that way.<br />If I see a vulture today I'll be sure to appreciate it, although the park we are currently at has mostly Canada geese, swans and ducks...not that I'm complaining.The Queen Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613469797513739495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667401724450207840.post-58298741874576678672013-09-08T05:49:20.619-05:002013-09-08T05:49:20.619-05:00Well, I'm glad you remembered this!

A few of them were perched on and flying over a vacant motel building next property over from my condo. I got lots of nice photos. Since then, I have not been so lucky. Check my blog archives for March 4, 2011 for some of the photos. Enjoy, and have a wonderful evening.

CA - they found out first hand about the vomiting thing - eeuuwwww - their friends made them walk home - about 5 miles.<br /><br />I love vultures in flight - some of the prettiest there are - soaring on the thermals. One time I walked into our living room - our house was on a small rise and as I looked out the window a vulture flew right up to the house, swerving upwards just in time to miss the house and I could see every feather in its wings - the picture has stayed in my mind ever since - it was magnificent.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667401724450207840.post-25682097571729232122013-09-07T21:13:55.634-05:002013-09-07T21:13:55.634-05:00Strange and interesting birds.

Thanks for sharing this.<br /><br />I use photoshop brushes, both as digital "stamps" and I also try to paint with the many "brush stroke" brushes I have found in the internet. The flower picture is a flower brush, stamped in pink, stamped on another layer in green, which I partially erased, and a third layer in yellow, also partially erased. It's fun getting all the layers together so it looks sort of like a real painting.Linda Gibbonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698765889199813470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667401724450207840.post-20931643480036304552013-09-07T16:54:35.781-05:002013-09-07T16:54:35.781-05:00Such a useful, sadly maligned, fascinating creatur...Such a useful, sadly maligned, fascinating creature.<br />I think the Andes vultures also excrete on their legs to keep them warm...Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
