“BUT ITS A TALKING DOG”

December 30th, 2009 by Max


I watched UP again on Christmas.  I think this was my favorite sequence:

Dug: I am a great tracker. My pack sent me on a special mission, all by myself. Have you seen a bird? I am going to find one, and I am on the scent. I am a great tracker; did I mention that?
[Dug is suddenly attacked by Kevin, who shrieks in Dug's face after pinning him to the ground]
Dug: Hey, that is a bird! I have never seen one up close, but this is a bird. May I take your bird back to camp as my prisoner?
Carl Fredricksen: Yes, yes, take it! And on the way, learn how to bark like a real dog!
Dug: I can bark.
[barks]
Dug: And this is howling.
[howls]
Dug: [Kevin screeches]
Russell: Can we keep him? Please, please, please?
[Carl says "No."]
Carl Fredricksen: No.
Russell: But it’s a TALKING DOG!

New pictures from my long day yesterday

March 24th, 2009 by Max


The Great Blue Heron is a great blue heron.  I kinda like this picture.  But the thing that surpised me was that I’d never seen this kind of white goose before.  And there must have been a thousand of them.  They took off and circled like WWII planes stacking up before a long mission.  It was beautiful watching them bank into the sunlight.
