Good series - I like the progress of time in these shots. He's quite cute (for a rat)...

Thanx Toad,
Shawn, Muskrats are longer and have a different tail,

I'd title these "Brave Photographer!" Cool pictures but there's no way I could have taken them...even if I could have taken them. I'd have been high-tailing it out of there.
Valerie, one big chicken
Valerie, These guys are affraid of humans and hide when they see us!
I am not that brave either, but I find people much more harmful than animals. Animals don't attack you for no reason, only if they are protecting their babies or food, perhaps when we invade their territory of comfort zone.
