I discovered this very tiny critter on the trail Monday. It was smaller than a walnut. I suspect it may be a baby mole or vole. It disappeared into the weeds as soon as its portrait session was done.

You have really sharp eyes Kay.
Squeak squeak!
Good eye. I’m guessing Vole. Mouse-like shape, visible ears, and similar feet front and rear.
You are coming up with a variety of little critters these days. Smaller than a walnut is pretty darn small. You must have been quick on the camera, too, as I don’t expect this thing waited around while you set up a tripod and lights. 🙂
Yes, I’ve seen those little ones here. Nice shot!
Aren’t women supposed to yell “eek” and stand on chairs when they run across these things?
his tail is almost longer than his body!
@Jack, this little guy was so tiny and cute I was consumed with curiosity. I saved the “eek” until I got home and had a chair to jump on.
Yu must have been fast to catch this portrait.
Such a cute little creature!
So nice of it to stick around long enough for a portrait. You must have been very quiet. Looking at that long tail, I can’t help but think, ‘Ew!’
wow, smaller than a walnut?! thats really tiny…. i probably would have missed it…
