Hello, today i decide to post and present you
another image from my archives, photo shot
with my 3 megapixels digital compact camera,

in this photo i am happy because i did
an successful approach at few meters
to the Woodchuck that was eating grass,
i prepared the camera to shoot (i want
to say that i put my eye on the viewfinder
i zoomed the 3X Optical Zoom), i whistled
to get his attention and shot the image

here is a excellent link on the Woodchuck

Hi Asbed,

I'm beginning to think like Bob! I was going to type how much wood would a ....... and I saw his words out of the corner of my eye. I love the way this woodchuck is frowning at you. You were so lucky to catch him out on the open grass like that. Nice shot!

Hi Asbed

We don't have these in the UK so it is lovely to see a photo. You did well here getting good eye contact and good focus. I love the low POV

Despite the use simply camera you have got amazing picture. First of all subject and animal are wonderful. Second, quality of the image is perfect. Eye-contact is very cute. Sunlight, vivid colours and crisp sharpness of the image are wonderful too. Bravo and my best wishes.
Alexei.

Hello Asbed

A lovely capture of this groundhog.
Just marking the post for now.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I love the way the woodchuck is checking you out! :) You certainly got his attention with that whistle! :)

Super Asbed, cette petite marmotte a l'air surprise de te voir mais elle est toute près de toi. Du GAZON, wow! c'est beau, quel beau vert tu as capturé, le trèfle sent jusqu'ici et mes yeux s'abreuvent à cette lumière... je blague un peu mais penses-tu que nous l'aurons un jour, le retour de la nature??!!! Merci pour cette photo, elle fait du bien!

Francine
