Location
My front yard at Myrtle Creek, OregonTime
There was a little post in my front yard which was in good taste allowed native plants so it was appropriate wild enough for this little guy. He had one hole in the road and seemed to attach several feet from that hole. That was his pole and I inched little by little to get this shot. He still felt comfortable with my presence. That was his spot!Lighting
My camera was aging but this was taken at a point either morning or late afternoon when the sun is close to the surrounding hills of the Umpqua Basin. The sun reflected nicely on his furEquipment
