I’ve often called sunrise and sunset “sweetlight time” when it comes to photography. The low, angular light filtered through the atmosphere draws out rich colors and textures, and a sense of longing seems to rise up from elongated shadows that stretch away in silent accompaniment, the tall friend who never leaves your side.
In this light, even a rodent as lowly as the introduced nutria (a.k.a. coypu; Myocaster coypus) presents an air of finely tailored raiment fit for a night on the town.
Now I know they’re considered invasive in some areas, but good lord are nutrias cute! Love it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks they’re awfully cute, Chris! Like beavers–who I also think are quite the lookers–seeing a nutria always makes me smile.
What’s not to love about an aquatic rodent? They’re all fuzzy and have those adorable little ears. Super cute! I’m glad you think so too.
They have such itsy bitsy eyes. Do they bump into things alot? (by the way, really nice pic!)
