A wonderful series, Lester!
I particularly like the 5th image. It is not easy to show a critter in thick vegetation and have it look good. Somehow, you managed to show the vole's micro-environment, and still show the vole, without a bunch of too-blurred-out vegetation getting in the way.

Out of the park phenomenal images Lester! Such an adorable (and tiny) little ball of fur.

Cute animals !

Many thanks all very much appreciated. Sometimes they show and other times you see nothing but perhaps hear the little plop as they dive away from you.

Great shot. Reminds me of Mr. Jingles from the movie The Green Mile.
