~Groundhog up a Tree~

Just leaving home we saw this brown furball up in the tree and had to stop and see what it was. He was apparently afraid of something on the ground, and thought this was the best escape. But then, he was still obviously unhappy and was making little chirpy sounds.

We checked when we returned home about an hour later and he was down and gone.

Take a look at the next photo, to see the longer distance. So glad to have the 12x optical Lumix FZ7 now/

With the 12x optical zoom.

12x optical is very nice and so is this shot. Think how perfectly finished the story would have been if the tree had been gone too. :-)))
