Hi Gang!


I found this guy on the side of the garage and was going to put him down, but I experimented with doing a live shoot
and the more I observed, the more attached I became!

So here are several shots, and one was from a 5 exposure stack.

It was neat watching this guy clean his antenna and front legs.

I will return him to the trees.
