That snarl would scare the critters out of ME! Great capture,though. #1087233

Thanks Michelle. As long as there was a heavy glass door between me and it I was ok. One of my cats however,was just above this guy and I feared for the cat. #7190450

Beautiful shot. When I lived in Iowa, I had to check under my car at night before getting near to make sure there was not one of these lovely creatures within striking distance! #7190752

Thank you JoAnn. They come up on the deck all the time but knocking on the glass usually scares them away. This one didn't move away but came right at the glass. #7190823
