Prickly Porky

I was out visiting my meadow and I caught the sight of a small dark creature moving through the garden.  Too small for a bear and I thought I knew what the slow, waddling creature was, a porcupine!  Sure enough, Prickly Porky was exploring the garden.  (I always think of the wonderful Thornton Burgess children's stories when I see one.)  They are extremely near sighted so I could walk right up to him to get a couple of pictures.  (Another in the extras.)  I haven't seen one for a couple of years, so it was such fun to see him.  Gift#179: a visit from an old friend.
