A pincushion in the horse pasture

I had a visitor in the pasture just as it was coming dark tonight.

I didn't do any thing what so ever to these other than resize and convert to JPEG, before someone says something about the red eyes.

I don't know how the lense got any kind of focus at all. It was almost dark and this guy is very dark any time of day.

He started making the little clucking sounds they make when I got about three feet from him.

In full retreat. Full speed, about 1/4 mile per hour.

These shots are so cool because of the fact you caught an animal in the very act of being an animal and I think the color is amazing
animals that are nocturnal almost always show a red eye at night natually-
I used to have a fine horse pasture with Arabian show horses and we did have some creatures lurking about as well-
nice job*

Charlotte-

Thanks Charlotte. And thanks for replying.

Neat critter, Ron, and great that you were able to get some sharp images under those conditions!

Thanks Don.

While the pictures aren't anythink special, I thought they were kind of neat because of the fact that porcupines aren't often seen.
