WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: Part 339 - Curves

Nice shots everyone, people getting very creative. I dont know why I found this topic so hard but was in a sweat today as still didnt have a photo. Went to the zoo though and got these ones -

^^ whoa..Tack Sharp. Lovely shots!

I hope no one minds my contribution. This shot was taken just a few minutes ago.

I like the curves on my new shaving scuttle. The inner shell of this double walled 'cup' is filled with hot water. This keeps the shaving soap I whip up nice and warm for a professional feeling shave.

Your vulture seems to be having a "bad hair day" Eddie.

Great shots, both of them!

Nice gear, Doc. Almost, but not quite, enough to get me to start shaving again!

Flowers are such an obvious choice for curves, but I did it anyway.

Thanks. I've had a beard most of my adult life so I don't have much to shave. But, when I do, I like to pamper myself a little.

Great curves, everyone and I love it when new people jump in.
I love the feet, Levina!

The eagle's feathers all curve and the wingspan has nice curves.

OhLook and Stina...yes, nature offers us wonderful curvey shapes. I took my camera to the garden shop yesterday when I was purchasing tomato plants, and grabbed a few lovely blooms...but the light was so bad that I ditched them, and went with another wild one!

That's lovely, Ricardo!
When I first saw "curves" was the theme, I thought it would be easy. I struggled all week with this theme, but it was fun.

Sorry, Ricardo. I don't know why I thought Joayne posted that. I corrected it.

Hehe...we all do that from time to time!

Now, ever since I saw this week's theme I've known what "curves" I really wanted to post, and FINALLY, I found a model who would pose for me! And she's ALL woman!

Tragically, Oh, it's spreading! (Just like she is!)

Good morning everybody!

Some great additions since I was here yesterday.
Of course the birds go straight to my heart, especially the free one. A great capture, Stina!
Also love the flowers.
But I love everything. Good work by everyone.

And Richard, that sculpture? Now we're talking!! Great minds think alike!

OhLook, that nun's habit? Spot on and very funny!

Wow, Sibil, I guess that was nature throwing you a real curve!

Good one, lol.

That is very scary, Sibil. I'm so glad it ended well!

Thank you.

Sibil - can you tell if it is the same bear? If they're getting that aggressive it might be time to call animal control and have the bear relocated.

I have no doubt that we have repeat visitors, but I have captured enough pictures and studied them in detail, to know that we get far more than one. Animal control won’t come out unless the bear is sighted in a more populated area. We are too close to the hills, so by the time anyone shows up, the bears have disappeared into the hills. The situation is not too uncommon. Below is a bit of news from the same evening.

Agree with Tim. Sibil, those bears are getting too close. I'm surprised that ordinary nonsecure trash containers are allowed where you live.

According to one ranger, our only solution is to get a bear-proof container. I am thinking that I need to build some kind of a strong shack, to keep our trash cans looked up. But, they’ll still come for the neighbors’ trash cans.

WTH Sibil.. be careful!

Thanks. I should keep my stupidity in check and not try to get a picture every time.

I know that feeling. One time when I was camping while sleeping in our tent we get woken up by some noise just outside. I unzip the tent door to go have a look and there's a bear standing there just past arms reach.

The adrenaline rush was something else.
