this morning while enjoying my FOLGERS out on the deck. sitting on a chair with my arm resting on the rail....i look over and theres a young little mouse sitting there looking at me, just inches from my hand. didnt have a camera and he shortly scurried off. well, a little later i went in to refill my cup. and just by chance grabbed the camera. didnt even make it all the way out the door when i see movement on the top of our table sets umbrella...it was him (or her) staring me in the face once again...took the first picture,but the low llight and auto subject focus takes a second and i got his backside. a minute later he was hanging by one foot of the edge of the umbrella.i grabbed a nearby bucket and he crawled right in...WOW....anyways. i released him into the lawn and he immediately burrowed in just a bit.and here i thought we were freinds! after all i just may have saved him from a 7' fall!!...
cute little guy tho!

Nice. My wife won't let me kill them, When they are in the house I have to catch them humanely and release them outside.

what i'd really like to get a pic of is a small fanily of red foxes that live somewhere in the area. every so often i see them trotting across my neighbors yard, (they have no fence) coming and going from the feild behind our back privacy fence. they are the ctest little things as pups!..nave yet to see any evidence theyve been in my yard....somebody gardens an area inthat feild so theres probably a decent rodent population to hunt.

I see a red fox out in the corn field, he is beautiful, have never seen any pups though.

Cute little mouse looks like just a baby learning the ropes.
I have to transport any critters also that might be a problem around here. Can't bare the thought of killing the little buggers.
Wonder why God made the poor possum so ugly :regular_waving_emot

Talk about ugly, look at this guy:

The Blobfish

This little guy looks more like a cartoon character than a fish. The Blob fish has very few muscles and move very slowly, floating like a jelly fish. To eat, the Blob fish waits on the bottom of the ocean for prey to pass by.
