Really great capture Julie. It looks like he is up on his hands like runners do when they get in their running blocks before they burst out of them. LOL #9457879

Ha! Perfect title, Cuz...you can see his body tensed and poised to exit stage left at any second...course, it was awfully nice of this little fella to hesitate long enough for you to capture him at just the right moment. Hope you carried a pocketful of peanuts as a way of thanks! :) #9458199
