Look who showed up in my front yard this weekend. This is no masterpiece, 
but I thought some of you might enjoy it anyway.

I was surprised to see it.  They're pretty nocturnal creatures, and I've 
never seen one in broad daylight before.  And contrary to their usual 
slow-moving behavior, this one ran *very* fast when it saw me.  Perhaps it 
was afraid of the M8, or didn't want to be photographed with an off-brand 
CV 90/3.5.

I first grabbed my Olympus DSLR, for which I have a zoom with 300mm 
equivalent, but the battery was dead.  At least the M8 let me blow the shot 
up to 1:1.
