Went to a site we haven't been to in a while and I was surprised by how over grown it was. There are 2 run-offs near by, so that might account for it.
Anyway, I really wasn't seeing much to shoot, until I came accross this.
I'm facinated how well it adopted to the surroundings.

I seem to have a thing for spotting them.

It was really tolorant of me. A little closer...

Such masters of camouflage.

I can't tell... is it smiling at me?

Thanks guys.
On the last pic, after staying still and taking a few shots, I took a deeper breath and exhaled, but when I did so, I noticed it would open his mouth. I did it a few more times and it did it. It didn't move, just open it's mouth, so I set about trying to capture it in a pic.
I missed a couple of shots that were wider due to lag/timing issues, but I was very pleased with this one. It reminds me of the great photo Alcina has that was once her avatar.
