Snowy Dreams...

Most likely dreaming of three pound voles and mice LOL.

The temp finally got up to a balmy 26 yesterday and the sun even came out and I found this guy basking in the rays. I was surprised that he appeared to be sound asleep for quite awhile and wasn't the least bit concerned that I was sitting on a boulder nearby. He would take a peak whenever I slipped on the dang seaweed when I was walking around though, just to make sure I was OK I assume.

Also of interest is how similar they look to myself upon first waking up:

I love that last shot — fantastic detail and color! Looks like he was really enjoying himself in the sun

The last one is my favorite great shot.

Great shots. I'm pretty jealous you got to meet this guy. That last shot is fantastic. :thumbup:

the last shot is very special, nice exposure and pose and you did a good job on DOF

Thanks guys! It's amazing how different Snowies can look one from moment to the next. This was shot literally seconds after #3 above. He went from groggy to "IS THAT A MOUSE?!!!" in a split second:
