I think it was some other animator who first gave us the non-Egghead Elmer, with the normal-colored nose and the Arthur Bryant voice. In one of his cartoons he shows up on a motorscooter that bears the legend “Elmer Fudd”.Įgghead was a Tex Avery character. So, apparently, did a lot of other folks. Apparently he started out as a character called “Egghead”, who was suppoed to be based somehow on a adio comedian named Joe Penner. So, you think Elmer's a figment of my imagination? Take a look at this short (16-Second) video: Fudd has a fascinating history, mot f it given above. Thanks for the tip, Elmer! Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh! As I rounded into this scene, they popped me upside the eyeballs so hard I stopped and retaliated by shooting at them with my camera. At an elevation near 3500 feet (1066 meters), it’s high enough to need little in terms of polarization for the colors to pop. Here’s one such blue-sky image off Pine Creek Road at the north end of Thorpe Reservoir (also known as Lake Glenville) that “captured” me.

Traveling the North Carolina mountain backroads at the end of October guarantees a delight or two if you’re “hunting” for autumn color. Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!” Photography, in this sense, does sound a bit like hunting, doesn’t it? Great capture, Elmer!

Then, I stuffed them in a fwame and hung them on the wall… I’d step back away from that fwame if I were you! Those ‘captuwed’ photons have yet to be tamed! They’re still pwetty feisty.

I wounded (‘rounded’ for crying out loud… I’m trying to be Elmer here) them up fwom a shot or two from of my twusty 35mm Canon. Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh (the best I know to spell out how Elmer laughs)! Yes, I stalked those pwecise photons. What in the wide, wide world o' sports does that mean exactly? I imagine Elmer Fudd in his hunting outfit sneaking up on his prey (you have to exchange R for W in Elmer language)… “Be vewy, vewy qwiet! I’m hunting light. Hunting… that reminds me of the comment I get from so many here on Flickr (though, thankfully, none so far from my contacts… that being said, I see the “writing on the wall” after this post, assuming you actually read it): “Great capture!” Yet, the bright days had me resolutely on site of other subjects early and late in the day, while hunting for just the right color throughout the remainder of the day. These cheerfully brilliant days had me feeling anything but cheerful, as they were mostly useless for sunset/sunrise photography, as well as the water/waterfall images I was gunning for. They followed one after another more times than I can remember of previous autumns. He only had seconds to pull himself to safety.īatman was disheartened to discover that someone replaced his grappling gun with a lit stick of dynamite.Ĭloudless, sun filled, blue-sky days… they were in abundance this year in the mountains of North Carolina. He knew it was impossible, but by the time the train horn blew he was already reaching for his grappling gun. As it grew brighter, the shaking became more violent. He turned to look at the cliff wall, and saw a light deep inside the painted surface. And he's lost track of how many heavy objects have fallen randomly from the sky. He also avoided a variety of elaborate deathtraps set by a severely malnutritioned coyote. He barely escaped a depraved hunter with unlimited shotgun ammo, who thought he was a rabbit.

They seemed to be immortal, and impervious to the random violence they commit. Since entering this alternate reality, he has been attacked mindlessly by most of the strange creatures encountered. Resting against the wall he took stock of his situation. Wheezing from his injuries, Batman leaned against the cliff face and, using it for leverage, painfully resocketed his arm. Yet moments before he observed a small desert bird run into the painted surface as if it were a tunnel. Pulling himself to the wall, Batman could see it was covered in a thick coat of black paint.

The force of the impact cracked two ribs and dislocated his shoulder. Batman slammed into the rock face and fell to the road.
