Now I in no way fancy myself a nature photographer. In fact these pics are from my daily street shooting walkabout. I sat down for a rest on a park bench at the old Water Tower on Michigan Ave and this little guy landed on the bench next to me so I snapped a frame off. Then I felt something on my leg just as I was about to set the cam down. Since I felt him before I saw him and had no chance to make an adjustment on the cam before the scene would be over the pics are meh at best. Enjoy the series.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
