Aren’t I a grand specimen?” Waiting until the light was just right and presenting me with his best side, he allowed me a couple of quick shots before he skittered away into the bushes.

I came across this site called Consumer Search: Love What You Buy. It is run by About.com which is part of the New York Times Company.
