Of Walk-Abouts and Great White Sharks…
“I dunno…
I
think it
might be cheaper
to send
her to Art School.”It was, ummm…. “suggested” that I go back to my Walk-Abouts.
“But I walk everywhere!” sez I.
“You walk to get somewhere. You should walk to see something,” sez They. Firmly. “And take pictures.”
Aha! I see a way out of this…
“I fried my camera.”
“You need a camera? You can have my camera. Here take my camera.”
Gawd, I hate this. I’m not very good at “Gee, thank you; that’s very nice.” It tends to come out sounding more like, “I don’t need your steenking camera!” And you know what they say: “Pride goeth before the loss of a camera offer”, or some such drivel. One of these days I’ll have to try “Don’t look a gift-horse in the mouth” on for size. I smoothed things over by saying I would consider going on a Walk-About. Eventually.
“You should go back to church, too,” sez They. Firmly.
Which is why I found myself wandering up to the Locks yesterday, borrowed “Crappy-Cam” in hand. I hadn’t planned on going to the Locks, which, I guess, was kind of the whole point. I think I probably ended up there because I’ve never been there in the winter before.

And, tougher-looking by the second, Crappy-Cam Owner has the pink hair again. I think she looks pretty cool, actually.
She’s been working on a science fair project for school. She wants to be a Marine Biologist eventually. Specializing in sharks.
Specifically the Great White.
I dunno… I think it might be cheaper to send her to Art School. She shows a lot of promise there, too.

Takes me back to my days working on the riverboat, nearly falling asleep during those lock and dam cruises. Dam(n) lock and dam cruises!

Hey, those are pretty lovely photos, especially for being taken with a crappy camera! I like Ky’s pinkness. Not many people have hair that will hold the dye enough to get it THAT pink. It’s been tested around here a few times, without much success. I enjoy the shark’s lipstick, too.

I thought only Aussies took walk-abouts. you know like in the movie Crocodile Dundee when Mick goes walk-about in New York.
