They are pretty - for me they can't be vermin as I don't have any experience with them ;)
Looks like you needed a bit more DOF here Missy? How close were you?

You are so right Morkel.  At 700mm and only 15 feet away this was all that I could get in the frame.  I was photographing birds when this guy showed up for a brief moment.  F/8 was not nearly enough for this critter but I loved his face when he was caught with his hands in the "cookie jar" :)

A cute little masked bandit! The bit of wood in the corner is a nice addition.

Striking image, Missy. Love the detail and the reflection in the eye.
