Every nature photographer knows how important water is if you want to get good pictures of wild critters. Turn on any nature program, and you can bet they’ve got a crew hanging out by the local watering hole. I’ve tried to put this into practice myself, but for most of my time here in south Florida, I haven’t even had so much as a birdbath in my backyard. But, as I try to demonstrate throughout the webpages of this weblog, you have to look for what’s there, not lament what’s not. And that’s what I did in our kitchen on April Fool’s night. And check out the critter our bathcam caught. In this photo, you can see that the creature is caught unawares, startled by the noise of the lens, perhaps, or worried by the artificial lightning flash:
In this next shot, you can see that he is more relaxed and comfortable, already used to the photographer’s presence, even (perhaps) posing for the shot:
Stay tuned—who knows where or when this critter will show up next?
What an awesome little critter! The photo really makes me smile!
