I've heard that they back up into you, but this is a very good shot Ina.
Ouch ! Better to stay a little bit far away !! :-)

An awesome porcupine, I would not want to fondle it ... Have a wonderful Monday evening, Ina.

I'm happy to see you were at least 142mm away from him!!! GREAT capture!

Ouch, great shot, like the textures on the ground. The rocks create a nice balance, otherwise the dead centre may not have worked. Good stuff.

Amazing capture Ina. Great details here!

Great shot Ina, love the angle and detail

See, this is what I mean. The fact that he is walking away just makes this shot better. Always that little something different to make it unique. Great shot.

Here in the US we only have short quilled porcupines, this is a beautiful specimen. It reminds me of when my dog kipper got hit in the face by one of these guys that was a rough night for him. Lovely Shot!!!
