Baby Rodent

I took this using a Sony cybershot point and shoot 4mp camera about 6 years ago. I've just looked at it now and quite like it. I remember the super macro mode on the camera being pretty dam good, the focal distance was about a 1cm! Impressive stuff for a point and shoot.
Anyway, it helped me snap up this sleeping little critter when I was out visiting my family in Germany..... not sure where mummy was.

Germany, eh...? Hamelin, per chance?

Fascinating shot.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

I've lived in many places in Germany, Paderborn being the closet to Hamelin.
But this shot was taken in a town called Emsdetten, 30 mins north of Munster, my birth city.

You're German, Dan?

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Born and raised in Germany, mother is German, dad is Brit, with precision British military school discipline and education under my belt, and an advantage of fluent German.
Mixed breed me Brian, half and half.

Well then Dan, sounds like ale and lager will go down equally-well.

Aber, ohne Fahrrad!

What a delicate shot. Really, just seeping?

Aber, ohne Fahrrad!

Absolutely Pete, we all know what happens there....
Even with one I'm a liability. Lol

It was moving and shuffling around... So at a guess.... Yeah, sleeping...... Or something else. ,'/
