Afternoon Snack

A black squirrel with an afternoon snack. If you have a large screen, you may be able to spot its little pink tongue! (Colour from the dogwood branches)

Great close up Heather lots of zoom or did you really get that close?

[Heather]

@365projectorgjoworboys Hi Jo. A zoom (but mind you, our squirrels are not afraid of people at all. In fact, they come right up to us, hoping that we'll feed them.) I have a zoom lens that can go to 200 mm (but I'm envious of folks on here who have much longer lenses- they can get really, really close to capture birds from far away. Maybe one day :)
