A squirrel snacks on some litter.

Gray squirrel eating dropped birdseed. (I just realized this isn't a fox squirrel after all! Gray squirrels that are actually gray are so uncommon around here that I didn't look closely enough.)

This squirrel was so into this chocolate wrapper, I thought I would be able to capture it.

I should note, I didn't have my bigger lens with me. I took this using my 28-55mm, so I was virtually on top of the squirrel. He wasn't about to budge and give up his precious lindt chocolate! I guess I wouldn't either.

Immediately after purchasing the Nikon 70-200mm lens, I attached it to my camera and took it out for a test run. At first, this squirrel was very reluctant to be my model, but after about 15 minutes of coaxing, he relaxed and let me click away.

A squirrel, looking for a place to bury his nut. I was able to get really close to him by taking a step whenever his head was down in the ground digging.

The babies are around here somewhere ...

I was wondering what had happened to the squirrels around us. Seems they are finally back. Check out all the empty shells around the little critter.

Praying I don't get him?

I love this little squirrel that has been visiting Dad's house

Joined me on my picnic blanket and we shared a plum and a sandwich. Penparc, Wales.

Why I always get the squirrels doing weird poses...

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.
