Great capture Tori.
Normally you cant get close to them.
Tori Buck replied
He was really curious about us, he watched us like a hawk, but we even so much pulled over for another car and backed up where he was, there of course was no where to pull over and get out so we shot from out the window. He let us shoot for a good ten minutes. I was surprised.

Great shot Tori, but like the other shot, too rural to meet the Urban guidelines. :-(
Tori Buck replied
I had recently deleted this work and this piece was in the Urban Group previously. My apologies for the submission, but I was only putting it back into the groups it was previously in. Sorry it didn’t meet your guidelines this time. Maybe me using “rural” was not a good word for where this photo was taken. Thanks for commenting. :-)

Hi Tori, yup ‘rural’ was a giveaway, but I am rejecting shots now that don’t have a firm location that I can check on Google maps. There are a lot of shots coming in that are in the mountains, desert, country that I have had to reject. It’s 2009 and one resolution is to tighten up the group a bit !!! Always pleased to see anything you have that is suitable. :-))
Tori Buck replied
Thanks John, Much appreciated. :-)

Great photo, Tori! I have a terrible time getting close to them. Very nice!
Tori Buck replied
Thank you. I did not know how hard it was to get to them, until Richard had mentioned it. Thanks for commenting.
