The Ratties Photo shoot

The set up.

Waiting for Lola to come out of the pocket.

Lia's turn.

My feeble attempt, totally blurry.  Will replace with Andrews shot when we get them.

We have a local photographer who was looking for light colored rodents.  A friend of his is a friend of mine so I showed her a picture of the girls rats.  They were chosen.

He is entering a contest and trying to re-create a national geographic photo of a baby squirrel climbing out of the pocket of jeans hanging on a clothesline. 

Too funny.  None of us could fathom how he would ever get that shot.

So, Andrew was over last night and we ended up having to enlist Scott to help hold the line, the light was checked and the background of the silvered fence was chosen.  Then the set up and then the ratties were dumped in the pockets, we all just waited for them to pop out and look forward, darned it they didn't do it over and over again!  Wild.  Andrew got lots of shots and seemed very happy with them.  He's going to send us one of each of the rats, since they both popped out and looked forward.  Andrew showed me a couple of the pictures and they looked so sweet.  No clue which one will be in 'his chosen' shot.  We think they are both beautiful but it will be which one was the better model I suppose.  Always something fun happening around our place :)
