Post #27

Hi Steem-ers,

Here is another @boyerobert originals. Found this guy along the water while walking Beethoven. I heard a rustling on the shoreline however couldD85_1449c.jpeg not see what was making all the noise. As you can see from the picture the groundhog blends in very well in it’s natural habitat. Took me a few seconds to spot him. He was collecting leafs bringing them into his burrow. Once he saw me, he froze like a statue. "If I don't move, he won't be able to see me." lol Pictures was taken with my #D850, 28-300mm lens. I took the shot at 300mm didn't want to get too close to scare him off, F11 - 1/400.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks!!

Best regards, @boyerobert
