I would have never seen this guy if he hadn't been pointed out to me. He blends in so well.

Thanks for posting this image. Very natural, like I was standing next to you.
This is a perfect example of what wildlife enthusiast have in common, the difficulty or challenge in saving an image or experience, of a creature that is not meant be seen at all. When considering all the categories of photographic subjects, wildlife stands out as possibly the one subject that resist's being seen, much less photographed. This is why it seems to never get boring or routine.

The final image is just the icing on the cake. The experience, the process, the difficulty, the uncertainty, and sometimes the journey, is what keeps us coming back. for more.
Keep it fun!!!
