Default Two in a week

I almost never see these guys, yet I captured two this week about 10 miles apart:

You did a great job Kirbinster. Your captures of the groundhogs are excellent. Very nice detail too. I have never seen one of these guys. Thank You for sharing them with us.

Dave.

You should come to our house, I have one that has taken up residency in my neighbors drainage ditch! See him almost daily!

Btw, love that first one. Very vibrant colors of the grass, make him stand out nicely.

I must say I think there is something wrong with the device you used to shoot these guys with. I think you would have better luck using something from Smith and Wesson (or similar)

I love the way in the first picture the groundhog's fur is the same texture as the grass. Great pictures!
