Hedgehog Love

When I was a little girl, I spent a few summers in a seaside cottage complete with a vineyard and vegetable patches. A family of hedgehogs were frequent visitors. It's amazing how our childhood experiences shape our tastes. I never got over my adoration of these little prickly guys.

Look at those Dumbo ears!

This one looks like he came out of an Arthur Rackham illustration,
with those Elf ears and sharp little claws.
