Flying penguin March 27, 2006

I’ve done this before (see: flying penguin), but I couldn’t resist trying again. I actually like this one better for the sense of speed. Look at his little wings go!
All the penguins were up on land at first. One of them hobbled to the edge of the water, so I waited. He tiptoed to the edge of the water and looked down. Tiptoed a bit closer, spread his little wings, and… hobbled off down the coastline a bit further. It took him two more aborted tries before he finally belly-flopped in. It’s amazing how fast and gracious they are under water, especially considering their distinct lack of grace on land.
