Call me Coyote ....

I spent my lunchtime stroll chasing a roadrunner in the middle of campus. This is not something I get to do every day; it's pretty unusual for these to be seen this far into Tucson, and prior to the encounter outside my office a couple of weeks ago I think the only one I'd seen was up at the Kitt Peak Observatory. But there it was, perfectly at home and attracting a fair bit of attention from the passers-by.

It had a rather jerky, freeze-and-dash way of moving, and several times it was perfectly posed only to move before I could get the camera lined up. Eventually it pounced off into the shrubbery, possibly on the track of one of the little lizards or maybe just looking for some privacy.

Meep meep! Did you use your ACME Camera? Nice capture.

Thanks!

Considering how the Acme gadgets usually work out, it's probably just as well I had mundane Panasonic.
