Spotted this guy in the grass - and decided it was fair game for a few frames as it was somewhat inactive at the time ...

He does have a stern gaze, doesn't he? :-)

You know it's amazing how you captured the dark areas of the eyes, they set more towards the middle, which in turn gives him that stern look I guess. :D

Thx for the comments - but all I did was take the pic, guv - nothing to upset the little fella, honest :)

A 'full frontal' was one of the few relatively clean shots available because of the situation - axis of body approx 45 deg to ground (lawn) and less than 50mm from lawn surface, with difficult to remove stuff around.

Once in the viewfinder, tho', it slightly reminded me of one of those sci-fi films where something is travelling thro' a time tunnel or 'worm hole' (or just emerged from same) - or maybe my imagination was just working overtime :)

Got a couple of indifferent 3/4 frontal frames before it moved - this is an unresized bit from one of them. (similar eqt as before)
