Sigma 400mm f5.6 Hand held and shot through the living room window. I loved the way the sunlight hit the grass.
Several squirrels nest in the tall trees near the loading dock of the Idaho Fish and Game headquarters mail room in Boise. They know when they approach the doors, they'll get "treats!" Eastern fox squirrel. Photo by Frank
I'm a little worried about this little fella. I'd thought the dark marking on his nose was just that - dark marking. But looking more closely at the photo it looks like dried blood. I don't know whether he'd been a scrap or putting his nose somewhere he shouldn't have done...or whether the flecks on his fur are mites and not dirt. I know he's been spotted since so I hope he's doing okay.
If anyone reading this ever wanders around Knypersley Pool is Staffs and sees him, can you let me know he's okay?! (how sad am I? It's a grey squirrel that we're all supposed to think shouldn't be here anyway lol)!
Squirrel, Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh... it's not often that I get close enough to animals to take pics but this little guy wasn't overly shy.
