Taken this past weekend, this little one was not shy one bit. I suspect the little bugger was contemplating climbing into my truck’s engine compartment (something they are known to do). Even though I was lying on the ground between the truck and it, it kept getting closer and closer, stopping every few feet to see what I was going to do. I let it get within a few feet and decided that wasn’t a risk I was going to take and shooed it away. Not today, little one, not today!
