Some small creatures

Just a few from today…
Early morning, rabbit

A squirrel outside my office

An emperor dragonfly, at lunchtime

The emperor from another angle

And from the early hours of Wednesday morning… a hedgehog

    Squirrel looks like "hanging around" 😀
    You have a nice weather while we have a rain for almost a whole week now. Do I live in England? :left:

    The squirrel looks impatient, leaning with attitude against the pillar while waiting for something, or someone. Or food…

    Yes, I liked the squirrel one too, like he's waiting for the bus. 😆

    Lois, the squirrel would have had a bit of wait there. It was a great pose though. I got several shots similar to that one before she scampered on.

    Adele, no food around for the squirrel but she was unusually bold for the ones we see at work.

    Darko, yes we've had great weather but I've spent most of it indoors this week. Hope you get some sunshine soon.

    great photos, especially the squirrel! The emperor looks a bit beaten, must be a fairly old specimen

    Neil, that squirrel was great. I was pleased with the emperor (battered or not!). No darters yet this year… maybe a bit early for them.
