I was kneeling down to get a low angle shot of the grouchy dude that was chasing everybody away from the critter mix when this girl walked up to me. I grabbed a peanut out of my pocket and she took it from my fingers. Instead of running off to bury it she sat down about six feet behind me to eat it.

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.
While taking a break at the Native American Museum's fountains during a photo trip in DC, this squirrel came right up to us without hesitation, as if she wanted her picture taken. Naturally, in a group of photographers, we were happy to oblige.

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.
This guy came right up the window where I was at shooting some images birds outside the back door. Almost had a face to face encounter with one of our cats.

Incredible quality for a phone camera, but it just couldn't quite cope with the end of the squirrels tail which seems to have disappeared.
Another older one, haven't had a chance to get out the last few days but thought this was worth a look in...
I'm not a nature photographer so I was pleased to capture this. It is feeding on a bit of rock hard cheese scone from the cafe in Edinburgh Botanical Gardens. It took the scone from my hand moments before the picture so I guess it felt the need to pose.
By Sandee Vartanian Dusbiber..All the squirrels in our woods are in shock that we are having such unbelievable weather in Michigan for March.We would be having March winds and plenty of snowflakes bouncing all over the place. Mr. Squirrel is taking every moment he can to enjoy the warm rays of the sun. His body is stretched on a thin branch and having the sun warm is fur coat. Usually , his fur coat would have icicles hanging from it. He stayed for a long time and he did not mind me taking any photos of him.I guess he was more into the warm March weather than me and the camera.
I'm not sure why it was sitting in the same place for so long especially since I knew I was creeping up on it.
I don't pay attention to squirrels but this one was staring at me.
It is apparently eating junk food. He was even sniffing the air while I was shooting. He sensed the cheese crackers I had!
Look at its teeth. They're red. That's a mystery to me.
I'm surprised a predator hasn't caught it yet. It doesn't look like a fast squirrel. Sooner or later, it won't fit into its hideout.
