All creatures gross and flighty

This here used to be a black lively agile ninja crab - leaping to and from rocks as waves crash around it's 8 legs. Until a bird plucked it from its rock haven and set it delicately above to bake in the sun... an eerie reminder to the others below that the crabs may rule the rocks, but a greater force rules the skies.

Okay... you know your Alaskan when:
a. you see this and think it's rubber
b. you see this and screech
c. you try to climb the rock and feed it an apple
*Please note: I did not ask what you would do if you were Heidi - I asked if you were an Alaskan :)

Beggars come in all forms - I considered giving the creature a bottle cap of cervesa, until I remembered I was drinking out of a can!

I tried talking this guy out of jumping off this fence... until I realized that leaping to his death was not his choice of suicide. He was holding his breath - see those blue lips! He pooped all over the fence and I decided by that sign he would like me to leave so he could die 'blue lips' and all in private. So with that...
I ventured on ward... he did however get a toast later~* Long live blue lips

I love this picture, I love this bird
Every time I look at this scene and the Little Egret I'm reminded how simple life should be..
