Welcome to Saturday Sparks 625!
Starting off todays party with an unexpected guest!
As we settled into the dusk of another day, DH spotted this prickly pair out back.
Apparently, our resident porcupine had now added 'mother' to her resume.
I grabbed my camera and headed outside as they veered off in opposite directions.
Mama bolted for the closest tree while her porcupette made a beeline in my direction!
She waddled right up to my feet, only to turn at the last minute and head into the woods.
I've read that they don't have the best eyesight, so perhaps she mistook me for her mother.
Whatever the reason, this sweet encounter had me grinning like a cheshire cat.

And, you as well Shelley! Many smiles ~ Suzanne.
DeleteWhat a cute animal this is :) I've never seen it as we don't have them here, but I read they are strictly nocturnal animals? Anyway, thank you again for hosting, I love to come back here and check all the good stuff posted. And wishing you a sunny weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are very cute Mariama! While they are mostly nocturnal, they do forage occasionally during the day. Dusk seems to be when we see them the most. Have a lovely week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteSuzanne, the porcupines are so cute! It isn’t a member of our local wild kingdom (lol)! Wishing you a wonderful weekend, my friend and thanks so much for hosting!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are Pam! It was so sweet when the baby ran right up to me. We never lack for surprises from nature here. Have a lovely week, my friend ~ Suzanne.
DeleteThank you for hosting. You captured some adorable photos of the mother and baby. Have a wonderful weekend. ♡
ReplyDeleteHappy to host, Stephanie! Glad to know you enjoyed my porcupine photos. Happy July ~ Suzanne.
DeleteI have never seen a porcupine in real life. I’m totally envious of your encounter with this mom and her offspring.
ReplyDeleteThey are a real treat to see, Michelle! We just need to keep them from eating our trees. 😁 Wishing you a sun filled week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteSuzanne, Love your porcupine photo and the story about the baby porcupine coming right up to you. Such a special animal encounter!! Thanks also for hosting each week !! - Patty
ReplyDeleteThanks, Patty! Our window into the wild has blessed us with many of these animal encounters over the years, but it does not go unappreciated for the special moments that they are. Many smiles ~ Suzanne.

Yes, it was Slabs! Seeing the mother and child was a thrill as it was, but then to have the baby run up to me was frosting on the cake. Have a wonderful week ~ Suzanne.

DeleteSuch an interesting guest. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteYes, they were Patrick! Wishing you a great week ~ Suzanne.
DeleteThank you for hosting. The little one, were you able to reach out and touch him?!
ReplyDeleteHappy to host, Debra! I just stood in awe as it ran up to me. I'm thinking the mother would have been none too pleased with me if I had placed a hand on her baby. Enjoy your week ~ Suzanne.
