Little Visitor

Weasel. Canon 5D, 100mm, handheld, 1/2000 @ f8, ISO 400

This photo was taken in 2007 while I was on a hike. I had hiked several miles and stopped on a dilapidated old bridge to sit and eat some lunch. While sitting, I noticed this weasel pop up from the old wood and take a look at me. I had hiked out to this location to photograph wildflowers, so I had a 100mm macro lens with me. As the weasel popped up, I was able to grab a few shots. Eventually it grew bored of me and went back to doing what it must have been doing before I showed up which was hunting through the ruined bridge and creek banks for eggs in swallow nests.
