I have only ever seen an armadillo flattened. How nice of them to send you an emissary for this photo shoot. The professional model must've been busy somewhere else, and they sent you his understudy. You still managed some very nice photos, despite the armadillo running all over the place!ASHEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337455354091593589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-51211344366349832032008-02-10T19:57:00.000-06:002008-02-10T19:57:00.000-06:00I sure hope to see one of these in the wild one da...I sure hope to see one of these in the wild one day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-73730161446745699992008-02-09T22:29:00.000-06:002008-02-09T22:29:00.000-06:00I have never seen an Armadillo!

What an opportunity. <BR/><BR/>I have found that they are difficult to photograph. We were at a park in Fl last year and I was followoing one around trying to get a decent picture of it to no avail. I got plenty of pictures but none were very good. <BR/><BR/>I thought it interesting that one of the park employees asked what I was trying to take a picture of and when I told her armadillo she said good becasue some people try to do this with the poisonous snakes they have there. I told her not a problem I wouldn't be following a poisonous snake around. Ha.. Can't imagine anyone doing that. <BR/><BR/>I do remember a coral snake letting me take its picture. I didn't have to follow it though. It was sunning itself right beside a sidewalk I was on.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12261260.post-39844882744454084832008-02-08T06:19:00.000-06:002008-02-08T06:19:00.000-06:00Marvin, what interesting creatures.
