Emu parade…
Remember how I took some emu shots yesterday? Well I was so excited to have them wander so close to the car, I held my finger hard onto that shutter button for about three minutes. As you do. And some turned out okay… so I thought I would share inflict a selection on you today.
I do this totally with an ulterior motive (I like to be upfront about my ulterior-ness)…
I haven’t taken too many emu shots this year… I simply haven’t had any close encounters to really share.
So I was understandably excited, and as I was taking these, the wicked though popped into my head…
\
Maybe, just maybe, one of these is calendar-worthy?
Maybe, just maybe, I should get serious and start compiling some calendar contenders…
You know…
In case I come good on my threat to inflict one of these on y’all again?
Sometimes I think I must be as mad as one of these slightly-whacky birds…
I certainly never seem to know whether I am coming or going!
Decision-making has never been my strong suite…
And then I thought…
Mostly cause The Pioneer Woman (my close personal friend blog goddess) is running a Black and White challenge at her place (first incredible batch here) and I decided to throw a couple of reworks into the mix too.
I have (rashly) entered this hastily-worked shot into her challenge…
But what I need really… is opinions!
(Yes, I do want you to be honest! And YES, I am bracing myself.)

I’d order one…
horses, emus, kookaburras oh my!
my fave 0761 e, more people would probably go for 0765 e or b0754 e
Emus are beautiful birds, a little dingy perhaps like American turkeys and emus lay the most beautiful eggs. I love to carve them.
E-mail me your brand and I’ll carve an egg for you and work in your brand… seriously.
Hugs Helen

Emu eyes are interesting, so I would use the photo that best captures an or their eyes, possibly the closest.

I agree Andrew… not sure if I have anything better than this though:
