Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky.
Have I introduced you to my charming friend?
Mr Snizzles says that he looks scarier than he actually is.
Would you like a quill? You can use one with a bottle of ink to write fancy letters. Go ahead, take your pick.

I was very surprised by the porcupine and how soft it looked. We have two at our local zoo that are very spiny looking.

Sure is a lovley fellow. I love your close-ups of the needles.
Tracey said,
Wow! He does look like a dangerous fellow. I have never seen one’s face up close. Not too shabby for a prickly thing!
Count me in! I have a fuzzy, oozy creature this week!

Wow…that last shot is really cool!

Up close they look like spears!
The last photo also reminds me of a fish, but I can’t think of what it’s called.

Yikes, too freakin’ cool, especially that last one. Hope you’ve got your fur out.

Cool, he’s my kind of friend, handsome and dangerous!

This little guy doesn’t look so tough — until you see the close-up of those quills! Wonderful shots.

I stumbled on your blog and saw you did Macro Monday….here I was thinking it was something I invented a few months back. LOL. Well it’s nice to officially join your meme. By the way, you have eautiful photos on your blog.

The shots are great but what impresses me even more is that you could take the pictures ! I can see these animals only in a zoo !

Kerri said,
Amazing shot of that Quill! Totally awesome!!
margaret (the misanthrope) said,
Awww…well, hello there, little prickly fellow! You are much handsomer up close!
Kath said,
I think Mr. Snizzles and I must have something in common, we both only get prickly when we’re upset!
margie said,
there is nothing worse than a porcupine and a dog. worse even than the skunk and a dog. great photo lisa.
Thomas said,
WOW…that’s incredible close. And a beautiful series of macro images
Ladynred said,
Those are beautiful shots. I remember my BIL ’s dog was hurt by Porcuoine.
I’ve never seen one in person.
nikkipolani said,
So cool! But how do you “pick a quill”? Does Mr. Snizzle share? Or does he shed and then you can pick a quill?
Hilary said,
Adorable little critter and wonderful macro shots. I’d have been a tad nervous up close and personal like that.
Far Side of Fifty said,
Hi Lisa, I left a prickly rose close up. Loved your porky pine, they are a terrible creature…but better than a skunk!
Nicole said,
What a cute little fellow – and how close you got on the last shot
!
Kyla said,
Caught your link off of Kath’s blog and just had to check it out! Love those photos and that last shot is amazing! Off to add you to my favorite’s list.
Slick said,
The only way your friend would loan me a quill is if it was embedded in my forearm. :p

Great photos. We didn’t get that close to the one we had hanging around here last winter, and we don’t have a great camera, just a point and shoot to try and get the photos.
Crazycath said,
Gorgeous sleepy photos.
Louise said,
Incredible captures. I’ll wait until he drops a quill, thank you!
