Spontaneous photos (Pixelventures July 8th’14)

Photography 1 Minute

This week Bastet suggested we be spontaneous and photograph on impulse.  Well, today, I had to get some cat food at Safari which is an elaborate pet shop.  I buy my fish there and would often go there for an hour or so with my grandson on rainy days. It is across the street from the Mall near me and it is really a lovely experience going there.

So today, I walked in and pretended to look at my smart phone for messages.  My flash was not on and figured, I had time to take a few pics.  I would have loved to get the turtles and fish with the waterfalls but I started with the birds…probably not the greatest ideas as I was way too close to staff.  Within a few minutes and about 10 shots, I was told we are not allowed to take photos in the store. Well, gee, I played dumb and looked forlorn and then mosied up to the cat food and completed my purchases.   So here are my shots taken on impulse  I tell ya, one of the cockatiel was talking to me and the other wanted to sleep…the looked like the odd couple.

I wanted to post these while I still have time. May be a bit busy the rest of the week.  My favourite is the first one.

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

      1. Why a no-photo policy? Perhaps pet stores are afraid of animal rights groups? Or maybe you’d pass their “secrets” to the next pet store? Very odd. But … what do I know?

        Anyway, the two little budgie-buddies on their perch – that was my favorite. So cute! And feisty too occasionally. 😉

      2. Someone once took photos and then wrote up lies about the store. It’s a huge chain of pet shops in Canada. I love there fish pond…so peaceful and huge.
