I was playing around at the little water fall for a while, trying different shutter speeds, etc. I prefer the "flowy water" to capturing each little droplet, but some people prefer the latter. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed the story and the photos - thanks so much for stopping by :)Tammie Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987069947225482393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947727124651401088.post-57012058409361230592008-06-12T20:06:00.000-05:002008-06-12T20:06:00.000-05:00Wow!Beautiful pictures.

And then they grow and become unruly and people set them free when the animals have no idea how to take care of themselves.

I love the way the tail curled up around him while he was resting, but stuck straight out while he was traveling. <BR/><BR/>Hi KJP! Yes, I was trying to fit it all in, so there are a few stories from my day. I was afraid it was going to be too long of a post and considered splitting it up, but I know people hate part one and part two. Glad you enjoyed it :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hi Malathionman! Oh I did the same thing when I was a kid. We caught a chipmunk and kept it in an aquarium for a few days before we let it go, and I think we did the same thing with some frogs and even some sunfish that we caught in a pond. My daughter is somehow more evolved than any of us ;)Tammie Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987069947225482393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947727124651401088.post-42505600966737751032008-06-06T23:27:00.000-05:002008-06-06T23:27:00.000-05:00My kids are bad about trying to make every living ...My kids are bad about trying to make every living thing they find a pet.

But how in the world did you see that little thing while riding in a truck?

Wow.

I totally remember that moment. <BR/>And I am glad you put Henry back.
