Nap Time

Uploaded: October 14, 2009

Description

Remember me? Yeah, I'm that fella you saw earlier, trying to catch a nap while basking in the warmth of an afternoon sun. Don't be offended if I don't talk to you. I'm trying to be as uninteresting as possible, hoping SHE will go away.

Yeah, HER. The psycho nut lady. I thought she might go back to the squirrels, but no-oooo...they're all in the trees, NAPPING. Almost makes a lizard wish for warmer blood and a fluffy tail....

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 10/2000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 800, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Thanks for all of the super comments, everyone!

In case you couldn't tell, I like doing the captions. I've always told people I wanted a job as a caption writer!

(that was after I gave up my dream of being a profile writer for people on dating sites)
