One of my favorite poses from these little guys. One of my summer visitors, bokeh was from a pine tree with the sun on it, made for an interesting contrast. Wish i had a hair more light on him. Thanks!!!

I like the image as posted; I enjoy this pose that I see a lot with Anna's here in AZ.

What species is this? Where was it taken?

Cool pose Aaron, reminds me a bit of a bullfighter, complete with cape and sword. The background is really appropriate for his body stance.
