Resignation

Uploaded: November 06, 2009

Description

I give up. Seriously. Winter will be here before you know it, and all I wanted was to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon sunbathing. I've done everything, even feigning death, but she just keeps on shooting. I bet that Nikon thing has an Off button. Too bad SHE doesn't. Wish one of her old squirrel buddies would drop a pine cone on her head, and knock her out for an hour or two.

(revisiting our pal from a few weeks ago!)

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 10/2500 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 500, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Tess, such a wonderful gallery of superb images and imaginative texts! This little guy caught my attention because I had one as a pet many, many years ago. I'd let him loose in the garden to hunt flies collaring him with white string because his camouflage was so good he'd be invisible. Love that you kept his context as green as he is! #8109373
