Saundra writes, This image was "taken 8-26-2010, Bestgate Road gas station, Annapolis, Maryland, Anne Arundel County after I scooped him up in a cup at the pumps and transported him to the more green area of the gas station. He was quite cooperative. seemed to appreciate his greener, shadier spot."
