Our gallant young sentries are sticking to their post despite their fears and continue watching the skies for impending doom. Our hero lowers his gaze and sees an alarming monster staring at him with its one very large dark eye. He fixes his gaze on that eye in at attempt to stare it down...... his life and that of his family may depend on it.......... :shock:

All comments and critiques always welcome and appreciated and thanks for looking.

Carol,

How could you scare this poor critter with your one big eye (lens). Great series. Thanks for sharing.

What a comical pair - or maybe they are comical because of your stories?

Great job- it's been fun watching them.

I love this one. The face on the right hand side Meerkat is priceless.

Nice imaginative commentary too. :)

It looks to me like it hiding behind its unsuspecting partner... :oops:

Nice series, good images and entertaining commentary.
