I was on my tractor mowing when I spotted this field mouse at the very top of a spruce tree clinging for life. It was shaking and and I was wondering why it ran up the tree insured of just into the brush. I then noticed "Murphy" our Puggle sitting at the the base of the tree staring up at him. The mouse was about 7' off the ground and I stayed on my tractor to take the photo. Canon 7D 1-500sec @ F4.

Gorgeous shot of a beautiful subject, well done mate, amazing to see so many people concerned about the little guys welfare. If you didn't care you wouldn't have taken the time to photograph him.

Great capture, very well done. It's cute but you can also sense the tension as it clings to the tree.

Amazing Clarity and Detail. So is that a mouse? I've never seen one up close and personal like this so not sure, lol. May I ask what kind of camera you used to get this shot?

You carry your camera with you when you mow your lawn??? You are one dedicated photographer. This is an adorable photo. Well done. And even better that you still notice the little things while engaged otherwise. This is such a great story and shot.
