Just a quickie today. Noticed this guy while I was outside, and since little critters are in very short supply at this time of year, I grabbed a quick snap of him.

I hope that some of you appreciate how small these little things actually are.

Great shot David, well captured. Good setup on the camera too, that bendy bracket looks the goods.

For the most part ... but it can still be a bit of a bi*ch at times too.

There's no way to actually 'lock' it in any specific position, so it has a bit of a tendency to move around when you don't actually want it to.

For anyone that's interested. :)
