Hopping About from Day to Day – iPhone Photography

This little fella was sitting on the wall by our front door when we came in after a walk at the weekend. He stayed there long enough for me to get a quick snap with my iPhone before hopping away.

Today’s photo had some heavy cropping and a little sharpening was necessary as a result but I decided to leave it at that on this occasion. The images in yesterday’s post had no editing done at all – and that is fairly obvious. I think I will repost those images later in the week after I have made the necessary adjustments.
