Emu? Ostrich? A face only a mother could love? What the heck IS that?

Robin said...

Emu - it was at the play park we went to last weekend :-).

Couldn't have picked a better shot for the heading!

Amazing - her(?) eyes are beautiful.

Janet said...

That's kind of scary ;-)

A brave closeup. Were you attacked right after clicking the shutter?

Robin said...

He was actually behind a low fence, but he could've leaned over and pecked me. Good thing I was quick ;-).

Really great photo. I'm surprised that there seems to be so much --intelligence? feeling? curiosity?-- in his or her eyes.

We see you! (How could we not?)

I'm glad you told us what this "lovely" bird is. Actually, it's kind of "cute" in a weird way.

Worth staying up late for hehe or I'm easily entertained this time of the morning :) Great Shot!
Happy WW

Great shot but I don't think I could have gotten too close to an emu. I am bit afraid of birds that can beat me in a fight.

SandyCarlson said...

What a serious-faced fellow. I hope he has a good day. Thanks for sharing his handsomeness!

Sara Elizabeth said...

Happy WW. This is an awesome photo. How you got close enough to take this, I have no idea. Haha. I love the eyes and it almost looks like its smiling.

Awesome! I have never seen an Emu so up close and personal. Fascinating!

Oh wow! Love this ;--)
Seems like this Emu was posing for your camera knowing you'd make it famous.
Hugs and blessings,

InventingLiz said...

Great close-up! But I can't tell if he is pissed off or just curious!

Anonymous said...

Nice! Love the angle and how both eyes are nice and sharp.

Mojo said...

Peekaboo... Eyes Emu!
Sorry. I had to. It's like Tourette's or something. I just can't help myself.

Daryl said...

Oh I love that face ...

Hungry maybe? Cutie for sure!

Looks like he is ready to chase you, after you taken his pic. :) Happy WW.

Great shot. I wish I had eyelashes like that.

However, I don't like emus. Once, I visited a farm that had some. One started "dancing" with me. The owner told me not to dance back, because it was a "mating" dance. Luckily, there was a fence between the amorous emu and me...

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, right? That's hysterical!
