Porcupine

While we were hiking this past weekend in the Berkshires we encountered this spiky fella.
Actually it was Tug who discovered him and alerted us by barking up a storm.
Of course Della came running and the two of them were dancing around the poor guy
while my husband and I were trying to make sure they they didn't get hurt.
The porcupine just kind of waddled over to a tree and climbed way up high.
All's well that ends well.

Home Run Jane this is spot on in composition and resolution with a nice soft background.
Tug has a great eyes and nose.

Could have been a prickly situation

Poor guy looks terrified. Glad he made it to safety without a nasty confrontation that would have left your dogs howling. Great shot.

Very nice detail on the quills and the catch light is spot on. He looks a little shaken. LOL Vote.

Terrific shot of "Spike"! Fortunately Della & Tug were wise enough to keep their noses at a safe distance!

a sympathetic if somewhat prickly tree-hugger...fine shot..
