Default When Boredom Strikes ...

I've been at home sick for the past 2 days, and I'm bored to tears. My hamster, C.C., became my source of entertainment this afternoon. She fought valiantly to extricate herself from my favorite coffee mug, and after a few minutes of shooting, I rewarded her with a very large grape. Needless to say, she's forgiven me

C.C.

That is very clever. Would also love to see the same shot zoomed/cropped in hard on the hamsters face. It's not that I don't like the shot you have already submitted, it's fabulous.

Get well quick.

Cheers and keep smiling,
Bernz

Only one grape. She must have lifted your spirits or at least the outcome of your shot, that picture is just so cute, it is brilliant.
