 i looked out the window and saw this kangaroo lying in the paddock .. very unusual .. they dont usually come anywhere the house ..

i got my camera and came very slowly out the door .. it didnt move away as i got closer but he did stand up ..

i took quite a few photos but unfortunately i couldnt get any closer because the yard fence was between him and me ..

i realized he was an old kangaroo because of the dents and hollows in his body .. bit like an old human .. lol ..

he lay down when i came in the house .. and was there for a couple of hours .. then was gone ..

this is a standard edit .. :)

also it looks so dfifferent on my phone than the computer .. much darker and with less details ..

I love this and the way you caught it. I don't think I have ever saw a real Kangaroo (except maybe Captain Kangaroo when I was little. LOL)
Beautiful capture and true to your style very crisp and focused.
