Post your best current shots

Sometimes, it's best to not look out your bedroom window at the crack of dawn! I saw this peeking out from under my garage this morning!

I am terrified of these little critters and am most definitely limiting my backyard time (poor doggies), I just have to figure out how I am going to work in my garden that is next to the garage where he pushed all the dirt out from! Pretty noisy shot because the sun hadn't fully come up yet but he would still be ugly even with low ISO!

So cute! Just look at those cute ears Last week I went into the shed to grab my old mountainbike. A big black cat jumped and ran out of the shed. It scared the crap out of of me! I'd rather see a mouse next time

Me and my brother took these shots mondaynight:

Bunnies in my yard are adorable, if I saw a chipmunk in my yard, that would even be somewhat adorable ...a mouse is NOT adorable, they are creepy!

any chance your dogs are good at hunting mice? If yes, you should spent even more time in the garden.
If not, get a cat, or a weasel :-)

Nice series Jan, great composition with the bicycle shot, great use of a prop.

I agree with Denise...Those shots look awesome.

Thanks guys I'm not sure if these get printed. They will probably end up in the "Best of year xxxx" book" at the end of the year.

Since the weather really cooperates and I always wanted to try a star trail I went out again yesterday. It became very foggy and I didn't really check my focus, so I quit after only half an hour of 30sec exposures. Tonight it's supposedly a clear sky again so who knows

I went out again thursdaynight. I wanted to take a single long exposure photo. This is the result of an hour(my girlfriend didn't want to wait any longer):
