Der Igel Has Landed

I think about the first time that I visited Europe I noted a persistent fascination with hedgehogs (German: Igel). I never really understood it. Somewhere around the second week of September, when I was taking the trash out, I flipped on the light and noticed something moving around by the garbage. When the light came on, it just froze in place. It was a hedgehog. I had never seen one before. The amazing thing is it just stayed there (probably scared to death) and let us go around it and take pictures. Everyone in the family who wanted to look at it had the opportunity to do so. It did not move. They are cute little things and now I understand the fascination with them.
