Emm, have you got any hip waders I could borrow??

This guy was really getting tired of me before I finally captured this. We were driving right beside Big Raccoon Creek when Roger spotted him. We stopped, I got out, he took off. Roger went real slow and we stopped again and I got out. I tried to keep a tree trunk between him and me, but he spotted me anyway and took off again. The third time I was able to stay in the car and get this one.

I think it looks much too cold to be wading, don't you?

  3. That's what I like, perseverance! All good photographers have it! And you came up with a beautiful shot! Yes, it is much too cold to be wading in that water...but that's where the food is, so....
