This little guy is always in one of my wicker chairs on front porch. I go in the afternoon or morning and have a glass of tea and he'll get on top of the chair and just stare at me. We visit everyday. Today I found him shedding so got the camera. I use the 300 mm , F-8 at 1/160 sec, so I could be away from him not to scare him.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 900, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Thank you so much Val I think he waits on that chair for me to come out and set with him. He and I just stare at each other and I talk and he turns his head. It is a funny relationship we have. #9566548

I know Phyllis, he was just looking at me. He knew I wasn't going to hurt him. We visit every day. When I go out on the porch it is not long until he comes and gets on that chair. Thanks #9622436Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
