Pine Martin


This brave little Pine Martin seemed as curious about me as I was about him. It's not often they hold still long enough to get a good picture of one!

Initially when I saw this fellow at a distance I changed to my trusty/crusty Nikon 70-300g lens thinking I may get close enough to get a shot at 300mm. When the little fellow came right up I had a hard time staying back far enough to get all of him in the picture at 70mm!

  1. This is a great shot! It looks like you were laying on the ground to take it.

  2. As Ron stated, it looks you were down on the ground with guy. That low angle gives the image a nice intimate feel. I just love the flowers, too.

  3. Thank you all for the positive feed back on this picture. As for the angle of the shot, I was crouching down about 5 feet away, zoom at 70mm when I took the picture.
