Vlad...the Vulture

DSCF8926.JPG, a photo by seanclaes on Flickr.

This was the last shot I got before my batteries died in my camera. I like it a lot... but the next shot would have been about 10 seconds later when the vulture left the top of this telephone pole... took flight and displayed his enormous wingspan.

This is down at the dead-end of Center Street in Kyle, Texas (the dead-end that doesn't end at the highway)
