The scratcher

This cute little guy was furiously scratching above my head.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Hope you didn't walk below him! You might have fleas now. :-) Nice catch, the photo not the fleas!

Nice capture takes care of the itch and probably scouting a feeder nearby. Nice sharp image with pleasing bokeh. Vote
