Walking along the Millennium Trail in downtown Whitehorse, I happened upon this quite friendly squirrel in one of the trees.
I can't help but think that something happens to animal attitudes in hot weather. On a cold day, any squirrel worth its salt would have scurried away long before I got this close, yet in the summer heat, it just waited while I snapped my photos. I've noticed similar behaviour from other critters, including other squirrels, but maybe I'm just imagining things... Human beings, after all, seem to get shorter tempered as the mercury rises.
Photo shot hend-held with image stabilization turned off. Camera was an Olympus E-30 with Zuiko 70-300mm mounted. The photo was unmodified from the camera except for the usual shrinkage for Flickr.
I went over to the window to click my robin and this little guy was feverisly throwing dirt onto something! Next time I'll have my video camera.
This squirrel was on the tree outside our house. My daughter gave it some food and it got very trusting. I got as close as, 4 feet from it.
Posted to illustrate one of the difficulties of photographing squirrels. As I took a picture of a squirrel eating another squirrel decided to check out my lens. The near squirrel is the gray blur at bottom right.
Squirrels can be vicious animals. Oh yes.
This one certainly was. Lol! Note how his tail is out of focus, he was whipping it around and cussing at me. I know, I know, another squirrel picture in less than a week. There are just so many around this neighborhood. Oh, and it's pretty much SOOC.

To all those people who violate my olfactory senses and leave their empty coffee cups on my desk ....your lack of regard and hygiene has earned you an honorary spot on my shit list.
You know who you are....*@#$%!!
Picture : The once rare Grey Squirrel has now become a common sight in the woods on the British isles. The one above is a big fella and was pretty nimble for its size (duh! it is a squirrel for Ramu's sake). Picture taken at the Aquadrome Local Nature Reserve, Rickmansworth.
