41:365 Grumpy

40:365 Grumpy
Mr. Grumpy here is telling me that he can get really mean if he needs to. There was a very secure fence between him and me, and I was still watching his every move. This is theme #133 Grumpy.

I don't think I would like to be face to face with him! (Notice how I say "Him")! :) Great image for the theme!

Looks like me in the morning before I have my tea. It's a great character study.

Glad there was a fence between you--he doesn't seem to appreciate being photographed!

Many years ago we attended a cattle auction (in WA State) with some friends. The shoot opened and a huge Black Angus Bull (breeding stock), who certainly was not very happy, rushed into the small holding pen. All of the old-time farmers who were seated near the front, got up and moved to a higher seating level. The wife of the couple we were with was surprised that the men moved. Her reasoning: The bull didn't have any horns, so why were they cautious. We laughed at her, which didn't make her happy, saying: Oh, if you met him head on it would be like meeting a freight train head on! :D

Good selection for the theme, and better yet that you captured his obvious displeasure.

Aw he's not so bad. Maybe he just didn't have time to prepare for the photo. He didn't want us all to think he was grumpy, LOL.
