Mouse dinner
I was pretty impressed by this little mouse's ability to balance on top of the sunflower, which is almost 5 feet tall.
I had one of his friends in my house for a while, but managed to catch it and re-locate it. They are kind of cute, but just when they're outside.

This is such a cute shot!! I like the little things too but only if they are outside. I always feel bad when I have to feed one to my snake. I do wish she was a vegetarian. LOL.

That is one reason I don't grow sunflowers anymore and have cats in my house. Nice capture for the photo.

Excellent shot of this brave little rodent. One never knows when a hawk is watching! The squirrels always get our sunflowers first. They are also cute unless they move into your attic. :)

Mice are very resourceful. He seems very vulnerable to a hawk attack . He must have been very hungry. An unusual and excellent shot.
