That's the scientific term for penguins who yearn to be eagles. Another desperate attempt at a toy macro for the challenge. Yeah, I'm out of photos to post.

OMG! check out my latest. I actually only posted it as a response to this picture. I took it on the 24th or 25th as a possible shot for the macro toy challenge but just didn't think it was exciting enough. You said we had connection taking pics of similar things...but really?? both of us shoot plastic penguins a few days apart??? LOL

[Ron]

@dianen Holy cow! Now that's just downright freaky! I'm convinced that there really is some connection between us - east coast/west coast in lockstep!

I must get to the toy store! I'm obviously missing out on something important. Smile. I like the tongue-in-cheek Eagle Penguin deal.

[Maggiemae]

This is actually a real eagle - disguised as a penguin!

[Rachel]

Toy penguins seem to be all the rage right now :) Sweet shot!

[Anita Campbell]

Haha!

[Louise & Ken]

...at least he won't drown!

[Denise Wood]

Cute eagle - oopps sorry, penguin :)

[Peter]

Sharp focus and lovely shallow depth of field Ron, Interesting location for a penguin he looks a little to warm to me:)

[Jorlam]

Where are his friends - they do not come alone Ron.. he must be lonely sitting on that box..
fun shot which i've enjoyed viewing and smiling at..

[Casablanca]

I laughed out loud at this - so much fun!

Good one

If only he could fly. Keep flapping those little wings, my friend. It might happen. Toy photography is always an awesome choice when you're out of ideas, I do that all the time.

[Taffy]

Ah, P3 would be envious. Very clever.

[summerfield]

maybe he wants to be a flamingo (and do the pandango)!

@louannwarren @louannwarren @maggiemae @888rachel @aglennc @Weezilou @gilbertwood @pcoulson @jorlam @casablanca @bkbinthecity @cjphoto @taffy @summerfield Thanks all for the kind and humorous comments. In all honesty I was attempting to grab a forced perspective shot, but it just wasn't working with the lens/camera I was using at the time. It wasn't till later when I downloaded the shot that I noticed the plaque with the Eagle One nameplate. (It was fence separating a golf tee from an adjacent green FWIW). Since the toy macro theme challenge was out there I just decided to throw it out there for that purpose. Thanks for stopping by!
