Found this little guy on my coffee table while I was working at the computer.
He was the perfect model for an impromptu photo shoot and he didn't utter one single complaint the whole time. When the time came to 'strike a pose', well, he was a natural; as you can see, his gaze followed the camera's every move...
Which, quite frankly, freaked me out a little, coz every time I looked through the viewfinder, he was staring right back at me... LOL
Anyhoo, I guess he was just watching out to make sure I didn't put my coffee cup on him or something. But, he only stayed with us momentarily before bidding us a goodbye to continue on his merry way.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my post, I really do appreciate your time.
And remember to keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!
