Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky.

Have I introduced you to my charming friend?

Mr Snizzles says that he looks scarier than he actually is.

Would you like a quill? You can use one with a bottle of ink to write fancy letters. Go ahead, take your pick.

  1. I was very surprised by the porcupine and how soft it looked. We have two at our local zoo that are very spiny looking.

  3. Wow! He does look like a dangerous fellow. I have never seen one's face up close. Not too shabby for a prickly thing!

    Count me in! I have a fuzzy, oozy creature this week!

  9. Up close they look like spears!

    The last photo also reminds me of a fish, but I can't think of what it's called.

  18. Awww...well, hello there, little prickly fellow! You are much handsomer up close!

  19. I think Mr. Snizzles and I must have something in common, we both only get prickly when we're upset!

  22. Those are beautiful shots. I remember my BIL 's dog was hurt by Porcuoine.
    I've never seen one in person.

  23. So cool! But how do you "pick a quill"? Does Mr. Snizzle share? Or does he shed and then you can pick a quill?

    ReplyDelete
  24. Adorable little critter and wonderful macro shots. I'd have been a tad nervous up close and personal like that. ;)

  25. Hi Lisa, I left a prickly rose close up. Loved your porky pine, they are a terrible creature...but better than a skunk! :)

  28. The only way your friend would loan me a quill is if it was embedded in my forearm. :p
