YOU be SANTA!

In a residential neighborhood yesterday, I encountered a small kettle of black vultures feasting on a large doe (see comment area) on the lawn near the road.

They allowed me to approach and shoot at will for a few minutes, but then took flight. These two alighted on a nearby chimney to watch me.

I liked this shot (for its captioning possibilities) but the blue sky was blown out. So I had to swap one in--which was tricky because of the grating around the chimney, where sky showed through. That required me to use the Photoshop Vanishing Point filter VERY gingerly.
