An Ermine still dressed in their winter whites peeks out from under a log. Seasons are changing and soon Mr. White will become Mr. Brown and we will have a hard time seeing him as he forages in the tall grasses of the fields nearby.
Boundless energy in such a small package makes them such a wonder to observe.
nature has no boss 
Great capture, I imagine one has to be quick with the shutter finger!

Oh he is so perfect. Almost like he is a plush teddy bear ermine. I am always amazed at your photos and know it took hours of waiting and searching to get them. Wow does not explain my admiration!!

It’s amazing. Seeing them running is something and they’re very efficient little hunters.
