ssshhhh

Just about finished my cycle ride tonight, and about 1/2 mile from home, when I saw this charming creature.

I managed to get my camera out of a zipped pocket, fiddle with the settings, catch my breath to enable a steady hand, and grab a couple of shots before it shot off into the trees. All the time it was probably thinking "what's that bloke dressed like a banana doing?"

A HUGE thank you for all the comments on my 300th yesterday. Spotlight twice in one week!! Blinking Flip, I'm right pleased.
