No, we don't normally have kangaroos in the city streets in Australia, but this 
was taken in our 
garden just 300 meters from the city centre last night!

I decided to grab the nearest camera and lens, which happened to be the *ist-D 
fitted with the 
DA16-45, and shot with the RTF - which was also useful for spotting the animal 
in the dark when 
it was in it's focus-assist role!

I cropped the shot to about 1/3rd it's original size, as the lens was really 
too wide - and the 
animal was too nervous to get any closer.  It fled before the second flash, 
which resulted in a 
nice picture of the path, plants and a tree-trunk, but no wallaby!

Comments welcome.
