Rescued while mowing the lawn, which explains the little bits of grass sticking to him.

I like him against the flower there.

Thanks for sharing

Nice pics of an interesting little animal. He was probably very lucky!

After Tess picked him up off the lawn, running to get away from the lawn mower, we put him there. I got off maybe 6 shots before he climbed off.

They are endangered here, there needs to be more lucky ones.

He's certainly in contrast to the flower normhead...makes for a striking image.

I admit, we put him on the sunflower, I still feel guilty.

You'd have felt worse if it had gone through the mower...I'm sure you returned it safely to the wild after its photo opp.

The last shot is him making his way down into the old flower garden, we'd set the sunflower down on the edge of the garden.

Glad you spotted him before he became pieces on the grass

normhead · 09-05-2018, 05:15 PM

He was lucky, I was lucky, we're all lucky.

If I thought I could keep him alive in an aquarium, I might have tried.
