What’s in here? A lemming?

Yup


So delicious!

Don’t look at me! I’m so fat!

Here's another swamp wallaby, enjoying the late afternoon sun. No editing except crop, as I'm losing confidence in my ability to edit (and shoot, if I'm honest) this kind of thing! ?

Beautiful creature, Melanie. Lovely shots, too.

I don't bother editing about 99% of the images I post here. Just try to get it right in the camera.

This beautiful little sugar glider was, unfortunately, dead when I found it, but I decided to turn a sad find into a photo opportunity, and spent some time photographing it like a newborn. I think I'll post a series in a separate thread, and hope people won't find it distressing or weird.

A few pictures from the same humming bird sitting in the same branch on two consecutive days - creature of habit.
I was surprised to notice even with the slow aperture of the Panasonic 100-300mm the depth of field was not enough for the whole body in some pictures. How do people manage shooting larger animals with faster glass?

Mix of birds from a walk in Urca - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil
Really hard to tame the colors on the red ones, but I swear it was just as saturated in real life!

Would love to identify the last one if someone has a clue.

I cheated and used Merlin app on my phone. It was a life saver on my trip to Costa Rica

Turbo just came to visit our place since it started to autumn rain here in Somerset.

Turbo's relatives came to visit a few years ago and have refused to leave despite sluggo treats. Another unwelcome UK visitor.

Just deleted about a 1.000 wording that looked similarly to BoJo's shenanigans that reminded me how "warmed welcomed" I've felt when i "Imported" from EU but realised that might be to political of a topic

But tell you what, try calling a referendum to see if that works on your Turbo's relatives.

I blame the French.

'Doggie bag'! Not to everyones taste, I suppose (just trying to put in a good word for Turbo - got such a bad press lately. Offended viewers may please take this as educational).
I promise to do better next time - should not be too difficult!

Two snapping turtle fry found within ten feet of each other on the same day. Since it was a dog walk, it wouldn't have been responsible to search for the nest. I was on my belly at minimum focusing distance.

I found this rather unafraid rabbit in my garden area. The rabbit nests in some hedges next to the garden and has grown quite a bit over the past several months. We have noticed damage to some plants and some tomatoes with holes in the side but that is a small price to pay for the joy of seeing a life develop and to see the trust we seem to have in each other. It will just sit and watch unless I make a fast move but will let me approach fairly close.
