Cattails

I saw these 8 faces in the cattails and added some color to make them stand out better.

Cool John!

I love shooting cattails with a BB gun this time of year. They darn near explode.

Nothing against you John, you're a great type of artist. And I have friends that paint "off the wall" pics.

Nice job!!!

I'll try shooting the cattails with my BB gun that is just setting in my garage. When young, my buddies and I would pack our BB guns on our hiking trips. This sounds like a tall tail but it's true,,,one day I was walking across a field and a rabbit came running across in front of me. I fired my BB gun and the rabbit started flipping in the air. I thought this isn't possible and I looked at the dead rabbit and I had hit him in the eye which the BB must have entered his brain.

John, in my life, I've made a few shots like that. Yeah, I lied and said that's where I was aiming.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I did that with a grackle as a kid while on the wing, first shot right in the eye as it was tearing off from the feeder. My friends thought I was a BB gun GOD, but my only intention was to scare the birds from my parent's bird feeder. I felt horrible inside, but I accepted the praise.

Yes, I am not a hunter whatsoever, but I don't begrudge others. In fact I encourage it. I am just too much of an animal softy to hunt myself.
