Wow, I have never seen one in this position! Lol! Good thing it is not in the middle of a road. As usual, the lighting is perfect. Voted.

Wonderful capture Gordon. Love the cute little backlit ears. Either this little guy a lot more hairy than I ever noticed, or you dressed it in a Hawaiian grass skirt! They're kinda cute really.

my mom has armadillos in her yard, Florida, and I always see the holes they dig, but have yet to
photograph this mythical creature! Thanks for posting, very enjoyable shot!
