Prickly Topo Gigio

Out hiking in Sedona yesterday trying to find a location for the full moon this week. I saw this pricky pear cactus and immediately thought of Topo Gigio ( http://www.edsullivan.com/topo-gigio-the-ed-sullivan-show-mouse/ ).

On the last day of @vignouse NF-SOOC challenge I admit to not a true SOOC since I forgot to change my camera to raw and jpeg so, I had to create an interim DNG file from the raw and then change to a jpeg and then to B&W.

It has been a good month for manual/edits with my feet.

This is so fun, I didn’t even know that Topo Gigio had ever crossed the Atlantic. His was maybe our favorite show when we were kids, he was such a cutie, and his partner, singer/songwriter/showman Sergio Endrigo was a very good one. Fav for bringing me back to the b&w tv shows of my childhood!

Didn't know Gigio, but upon learning about him this does indeed look like his profile--great spotting!

Great find and capture!

great shot, you're right it looks like a Topo Gigio, you made me go back many years, to my childhood...I didn't know it was also known abroad

[KV]

Nice composition.... I agree it does look like Topo!

[amyK]

Yes, nostalgia for sure...often featured on the Ed Sullivan show!

Haha, It indeed looks like topo.

Hope you found a location for the full moon shot.

A terrible weed here, but nicely done on the shot.

Perfect capture!

Nice shot and the mention of Top Gigio is a blast from the past.

Thank you all so very much. There are times when I remember bits and pieces that my husband has no clue of, this was one of them. I remember the sweet voice that was used for this little guy.
