I went out snapping venus and jupiter tonight - the first clear night for a few days - but when I got home Ernie was being all curious about the camera and I got this close up that I rather like! He was moving towards me for a closer look at the camera.

They are plastic plants for fishtanks... he likes to use them as climbing frimes and hide behind them! We have several different one and we swap them around every clean-out to keep things varied and interesting.
I've just seen these on TV - Dick and Dom's wild pet show (or something like that!!) Love the cute snout and this picture is great, the colours are a great backdrop
