Strolling by

My neighbors are no longer amazed by my picture taking positions, laying on the road, shooting from my roof, hanging over a bridge, standing in ditches and now I think the animals on the road are getting used to me too. This guy just stopped, posed for a minute and off on his way.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I read every one and appreciate them.

That's a cute commentary Margaret, and I think people do grow accustomed to us.

[carole albrecht]

really neat fellow - I can understand your sitation - my neighbour stopped to check up on me - thinking I might have had a heart attack -- maybe we need to have a "365 flag" we put in our hat - to warn them!!

[Brian Buccigrossi]

A true photographer. Great shot.

[The Blue Gnu]

Yup - I know what you mean - now I just get the rolling of the eyes, but in in the end, all the hi-jinx, weird poses, getting down and dirty - usually pays off - and I quite like just getting into it. Nice pic - unusual skin patterning - interesting stuff.

I find it's the getting up part that seems to be getting harder! Great catch- don't think I have ever seen one of these!

[Tabbycat]

What an interesting-looking character! Looks like she belongs in the Amazon, not north-eastern USA. Cute as, anyway, and you've got a nice, tight DOF field there!

[Margaret Tryon]

@hillcrest Cheryl, no problem getting up, I just have to remember I'm on the road and people will run me and the salamander over.

[O Dono :D]
