Prickly Business

Greetings from South Central Saskatchewan!
  Yesterday's weather made taking photos a bit of a challenge @  0 C (32F)  with a wicked wind blowing from the West.
This porcupine was way out in a stubble wheat field when my friend spotted him...  I grabbled my Canon and 100-400 II   and dashed out to click away.   With watery eyes from the gusting wind and frozen fingers.. I bravely walked up to this cute fellow who paid me absolutely no notice whatsoever.  (Well, I'm used to that) The challenge besides the weather was trying to find a focus spot and get an exposure that would show his dark face and eyes.
The last photo is a relic from farming past ... An ancient implement  by "Sawyer Massey"  

Cheers from the Prairie.... Terry
