This squirrel looked very healthy compared to the others.

This grey squirrel was a little out of reach, but I went with the digital zoom to catch him. I know, I know, never use digital, only optical! But he was too cute to ignore! Sorry for the fuzziness.

This weekend must have been some sort of squirrel holiday because the entire community was out in full force both mornings. Not only were they in a really playful mood but they also brought down one of the youngsters from the only litter we had this year. This little sweetie was a bit nervous and jumpy and didn't venture out from safety too often, though I was still able to grab a few shots for you to enjoy. Due to the rampant fires raging not all that far from us, this mornings light had a strange diffused quality to it. We pray that all their relatives in these areas managed to escape safe and sound.

I know, we are not supposed to feed them. But how can you resist them. Look at it! :) Anyway, a small carrot hasn't hurt anybody ;)

You didn't really think you were going to escape squirrel pictures, did you? Have a good weekend, y'all.

Guess the folks in the squirrels group don't get to see this until Monday, they say I've gone over my quota for the month of June.

the squirrel on its way to the "buffet" underneath the bird feeders

Taken 10/24/2009. On fall break visiting Ohio University. More practice with photoshop, this time using retouching tools.

I think he is saying "Hello, have you got any nuts?"

It was almost like the squirrels knew I was coming - they were waiting excitedly by the gate to the car park.

Got a few to pose on the cut tree that acts as my photo table - saves all the bending, age is such a wicked thing. lol

My first attempts with a telephoto lens.

I took this at Balboa Park.

On the look-out!

Yes, I have a fascination with squirrels! I saw this fellow on my walk back up Montrose Boulevard.

Seen balancing on a branch in Belle Vue Park, Newport.

Taken with Canon Xti/400D and Tamron 18-200 lens

This female squirrel was hand tame and scampering around the old Naval College grounds in Greenwich. She seemed to enjoy attention rather than just want food. Maybe she'd been orphaned and partly hand-raised. Her 2 almost full-grown offspring were much more wary of people.

This squirrel used to hang out on my mom's porch.

After it snowed, we put some dried fruit and bread out on the deck and watched the squirrels dig through the snow to get to it

A squirrel that came over to have some bread. Photogenic, yes?

Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) near the Grandview Trail at Chambers Creek Properties

Photographed along the seashore in the Monterey Peninsula, California. There is a large population living in burrows in the sandy soil in this area, and they have become very tame because of the large number of people stopping to look at them.
