Mouse Tse Tung

Yup, He's Incredibly Well Connected

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Okay, so I had a great shot of a buffalo in an Indian courtyard, all ready to auto-post. Then I changed my mind at the last moment and decided to have a bit of fun with this theme. I'm sure Misty Dawn won't object to my irreverence, because this really is a mouse.

Not your regular kind of critter, but because we all have one, I'm sure this will bring a smile to your face. It's just a normal Hewlett-Packard wireless mouse, but I thought the shots would be unusual because of the red glow and the see-through bottom.

Trust you to be different! Great idea. My cats don't think this sort of mouse is as much fun though.
Excellent shots - difficult to do I would imagine but very sharp and detailed.

Your mouse is much more photogenic than mine, David. The Logitech laser mouse is totally black on the bottom except for a tiny green bar light and a red connect button. Sleek, but not terribly exciting. :) Nice pictures.

Cheers!

I've seen those kind of lights in my rear view mirror, back in my younger days, David.

Well you sneaky and clever little... I must admit, I kept scrolling up and down your blog thinking "Where the heck is his Camera-Critters post? He said it was here!" Very clever my friend... you never cease to 'get me' with your creativity.

Okay that wouldn't have crossed my mind--that's a good one, David. Just don't decide to put up a pic pic anytime soon! Happy CC

Bwahaha! You are so punny! I never would have thought of a mouse as a critter.
