Friend or Foe? - a photo on Flickriver

Friend or Foe?

            I was driving along Roche Harbor Road on San Juan Island when what appeared to be an abandoned limestone quarry caught my eye.  So, I pulled over and walked across the street to investigate.  Nothing too photographically interesting.  As I walked back, this fellow, who had been resting under the pine boughs in the mid-day heat, caught my eye.

I was oblivious to him at first, but he had been keeping his eye on me.  Although there was no clean shot devoid of foliage between me and him, I couldn't resist the opportunity to make a few images.  I think he sensed that I meant him no harm and was maintaining a respectful distance and demeanor.

I am a landscape photographer, so capturing wildlife is an occasional good fortune, but nothing I am practiced at.  As I squeezed off a few shots, a couple of cars slowed to see what I was doing and then began to pull over as well.  Knowing that the jig would soon be up, I decided to take my leave of this young fellow, in hopes of minimizing his exposure to others.
