All good fun, but they are going to have to get back to work on the lawn soon.
All the best

Nice shots.

Good story.

Could have almost had the first pic in the first post as the last pic in this post as well ... with a caption like "Why can't you warm your paws up before getting back into bed"

Col, nice stuff and a real change for those of us in an urban enviroment

Col - nicely done. These pop out of the screen. Care to share your camera/lens and some EXIF details? Much PP involved?

They're adorable Geoff, and the photos are fabulous. How great they would look framed side by side. Well done.

I'd like to take the credit, but it was Col that took the images Bluebell

Sorry Col, if they were my photos I'd certainly want the credit! Congrats

Thanks Geoff. My breakfast is usually spent on the verandah overlooking these fellers each morning as they do their job and this day, the light was right, so I whacked the 80-400 on the D200 and stood there for about 30 minutes grabbing what I could. Most were good, which made the final choice hard. Most of them are 1/80 @ about f6.3, ISO 100. Normal massaging in Camera Raw and then selective levels & curves on the shady side of the fur. Nothing major this time thankfully.

Great little mindreader you are. I have lined them all up in series with a stroke of black around each image & merged into a 1 metre long pano with captions and it looks good. I am rapidly running out of wall space!

Yes indeed. It even looks like Mum is feeling the full force of the hurried entry there. Thanks everyone for your kind words.

And the sequence gets even better here.

And my comment about the first 3 - you have already got the 6 laid out

Really cool shots
