An intruder in the yard.

This afternoon I went into the house for a little bit and heard my dogs start barking. They almost never bark so I run to the window and see whats out there. I made it just in time to yell "leave it" before things could have gotten real ugly. Next the race was on to get the camera before it made it to the trees! A mad dash up stairs to get my flash card, back down and out the door with a quick 100 yard sprint and I managed to cut it off before it got to a tree, just to get a porcupines picture...lol

Great portraits Jay! It looks pretty cooperative. It's a good thing you went out there or you might have had a real problem to deal with.

Very cool! I like them all.

Great shots Jay, I'd say the effort was worth it!

You're just lucky these thing don't move very fast. Great captures.

[Nymph]

Very nice. I like the first shot the most.

Next time, see if you could get in a little closer.

Thank you for the 100 yard Olympian effort! Used to be a lot of these guys around, but seem to be much harder to find these days.

I can't believe the dogs just left it alone after you told them to. Impressive! Nice photographs, too.
