This is a spot where a limb was cut off. The tree grew the knot that looks like the head of a squirrel looking out.

JUST A SQUIRREL TRYNA GET A NUT
Saw this critter concentrating on opening the nut so I crept slowly closer and closer. I had some great fun editing this squirrel hahahaaa. :-)
While camping with the family at Cascade Lake, we were visited by numerous critters. These Chipmunks and Snowshoe Hare were just a few of our campsite visitors.

Ex Canadian Pacific GMD SW1200RS now calls Kindred, ND home. A nice home it is with what appears to be a decent engine house in the background. Most elevator critters don't have such luxury. She now is CHSX 8133, owned by CHS Dakota Plains AG Co-Op, for which work is being performed as I took this photo. The RRV&W line to Casselton is in the foreground. A pair of their SD70MAC's will pass by going north to drop cars at Davenport. On the return they'll pick up this loaded grain train. Unfortunately, I'll be stuck in mud thicker than I'm standing in and miss the southbound run of the MAC's.

A DeepDream within Minnamurra National Park which has been, ermm, 'personalised' in post processing.

A driftwood sculpture in a front yard. I suspect no one has seen it before at quite this angle and in this particular light. From any other direction, it looks like random driftwood, as most likely was intended.
A light rain a brakeman lines the switch while setting out at Powers in Michigan's Upper Penninsula as a C&NW local has a EMD re-engined baldwin "critter" way back on November 9, 1978.

A 15-ton Plymouth locomotive built in 1928, preserved at Exporail. It ended its career working for Hydro-Québec and is uncommonly seen out in the sun.
I hadn't been to the Weaselhead Natural Area for a while, and decided to stop by this morning. There are great vistas from the brink of the valley walls near the trailhead, but I didn't see any critters until I got closer to the bridge which crosses the Elbow River as it enters the Glenmore Reservoir. So technically, this was my "greeter" entering this wonderful natural area. I got some images initially on entering the valley, but continued on. The Bald Eagle was still atop the power pole more than half an hour later, and I was able to get underneath the pylon.
A happy squirrel is a cute squirrel. And I'm pretty sure a squirrel isn't happy unless food is involved!
From the crumbs on his paws and arm the Good Bowls must have just been refilled.
Hey team how are we all doing?
It be throwback Thursday today and I've finally finished processing a photo taken 2 weeks ago from my trip to Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Renown for its unique architecture this crazy critter being the Sydney Opera House continues to fascinate and inspire architects all around the world, or so I'm led to believe. This photo was shot from the Milson's Point side with a 70-300mm telephoto lens on a dodgy tripod.
The processing was done like this; firstly the photo was taken into Lightroom where the massively blinding highlights and whites were dulled down. The shadows were raised up a tad too as some parts of the photo were too dark. Then I played around with the colours using the HSL panel until I got the feel that I liked. I aimed to contrast the bluish sky with the orangey/yellow lights inside the building. I cropped the image and fixed up the horizon to make it straight. I then brought the photo into Photoshop and did some noise reduction using Imagenomic's Noiseware Professional software. Finally I cleaned off the image by using a combination of the clone stamp tool, spot healing brush and the brush tool. The most challenging part of this process was to get the image right in camera with the nasty gale forced winds of that night.
Hope you enjoy this one, and as always feel free to use this image in your videos, your website, you blog, print it out, remix it or do whatever you wish with it as per the CC licence.
All the best my people, don't stop shooting.

They all took turns today sitting/lounging on what I was trying to do. Here, Critter is keeping guard of the pieces.
A view pretty much seen only by furry little critters, in this hollow log in the forest, along the North Branch of the Chicago River.

ID anyone please?
I found this pretty tiny critter on my Berberis. To give you some idea of its size the Berberis berry is half a centimeter long :-)
Named for its bug-like appearance, the Cargo Critter, is a tiny ship with the inglorious job of picking up small objects in one place and putting them down somewhere else. It began its life as a bet between engineers who, having lived far too long, had become bored of thinking of good ideas and moved on to bad ones. The bet, so the story goes, was that the ship's architect could design and sell a cargo ship with the capacity to carry no more cargo than two strong humans could lift comfortably. The designer won the bet by giving the ship more thrust than a comparably-sized fighter. It can't carry much, but it will get it there quickly!
