Thanks everyone for the lovely comments!

I love my tree... That was the first time I tried shooting at dusk. I kept the flash on, and just tried to stay in front of the last bits of light. I don't really try very hard, I just keep clicking until I get something I like. I also try to not get the window frames or porch chairs in the shots. Kinda ruins the 'out in the wild' effect. hehe

Mindibun, as far as I know he's just a normal with a really awesome stripe that made me buy him. He was purchased as a CH baby this year. I can take a belly shot tomorrow if you'd like.
