Inspiring Photo: Tall Tails #9316711

Tall Tails

Uploaded: November 02, 2009

Description

One of the last images of WeeBold when Wee was, well...wee! I just loved that bushy tail that all but dwarfed the wee one. Wee's body, still wearing 'baby fluff,' is finally catching up with that tail. Although no recent images (Wee's a bit more aloof), I'm happy with any Wee sighting, as that means the red-tailed hawk hasn't snatched my baby!

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/2000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

Wee's not so wee...ah, but I'll miss that "baby fluff"! Know what you mean about the red-tailed hawk, too...ours do a lot of "duck and weaving" getting from one spot to another...cause that bad, ol' bird is crusing the area daily...Hope Wee stays safe - he's a sweetie, Tess! #8096209
