Ah, using the old staredown technique when all else fails...yep, seen them do that...but they don't know us, do they?? Outside of jumping on our heads and wrestling the camera out of our hands, nothing's going to stop that photo! Well worth the "groveling in the dirt", Tess - a sweet little capture taken at a very up close and personal pov of my most favorite critter! Ya done him justice!! #7990029
