Camera Critters~ A Tiny Visit

Late in the day, last weekend, I was mowing the lawn weeds, when something furiously dashed out from under the blades of the mower. I quickly stopped the mower and glanced in the direction of the blur. I easily spotted a little mouse....or a mouse like creature, huddled in the grass, gasping for breath. I stood there, about 5 feet away watching, as the little honey about had a heart attack right before my eyes. It nearly looked as if it had the hiccups. Poor thing....I am quite certain I scared the bejeezers out of it. After a minute or so, I wondered if it would stay still long enough for me to run get my camera. (NO.....despite popular belief, I do NOT have my camera permanently attached to my hand!)



I was pleasantly surprised to see the little critter still having a panic attack in the dead grass I like to call my lawn. Getting a photo, however, proved to be a difficult task as the grass was much taller than him/her, so it took a few tries to get the angle just right. I probably snapped off about 5 photos before I made a drastic move to the OTHER side of the little thing. Suddenly, it was off like a shot and dove into the tall grass lining our fence. The moment was over. I'm glad I got a photo though. Sugar was watching from the window, and was pleased to see what I had captured with my camera.



Have a great Sunday! Thanks for stopping by.
