Description

Nikon 7900 image. Last week was spent getting the lawn mower running and then using it. The frustration level increased a little each day because of dead batteries, flat tires, broken belts, dull blades etc., but it had not been used in almost a year since the drought we have been experiencing has given little sustenance to growing things during that time. Not every task goes smoothly in life but on the other hand, sometimes things just fall into your lap and so the balance is maintained. Today, I decided to take a break from mowing and the frustration of all things mechanical and clean up some debris piles of dead limbs, old leaves, etc. While doing so, the first of several neat photographic moments presented itself. Tonight

What a cute little fellow! Congratulations on your patience in finally acquiring 'just the right shot!' At first, I thought the top image was post-worked (the white flicker), but I see now that it's just his highly-specular tongue moving at a rapid rate. A Nice trio of images!

Good shot! Unique capture! (What an I saying?)LOL!! While it is true about the snake, we don't play with here in N,C., because we have too many deadly ones, and I don't wait around to ask them their family background is. LOL!!! and Hugs.
