One Giant Leap for Squirrelkind

MIght as well jump! Best viewed large. This squirrel was chasing Grackles! I stopped to take a photo of it and of course, it decided to run for the tree! This was a pleasant surprise to catch him in midair - it was a happy accident! He was moving fast.

@myautofocuslife @triciaodonnell @darsphotos @marlboromaam @anazad511 @debsulzberger Thank you for your comments! The next shot turned out to be the tree by itself. He totally disappeared after that shot. That was one fast squirrel!

@girlie @cimes1 Thank you!
@rob257 Thank you for your comment and the fav! It turned out well, even though I was disappointed not to get a shot of it chasing the Grackle.

@happypat @turning_40 @hjbenson @skipt07 @clmiller Thank you! Squirrels are very amusing to watch, I am not a fan of squirrels because they can be destructive creatures.
June 24th, 2012  
@billsouth Thank you, Bill! I like the invisible ladder idea!
June 24th, 2012  
Oh this is great, I hate the little critters for what they do to the bird feeders but they are fun to watch.
June 24th, 2012  
A beautiful capture!! Yes .. they are so fast and hard to catch, but you did this one beautifully! Love it.

Great capture, great timing - happy accident or not! Your title made me LOL.
June 24th, 2012  
Beautiful animal shots.I have a three amigos shot too,but mine is ducks.
June 24th, 2012  
Great timing. What a cute shot xx

@grannysue - As you say Linda, squirrels are fun to watch, but they can also be a great nuisance. A friend of mine had flying squirrels get into the attic of his house. He had a heck of a time getting rid of them. (Through trapping). Squirrels are rodents and most people don't like rodents in any way, shape or form!
June 24th, 2012  
Amazing action shot!
June 24th, 2012  
Great capture
June 24th, 2012  
Good timing gives a stunting pic. Great and awesome action shot
June 24th, 2012  
Great timing, Linda. Love the composition.
June 24th, 2012  
OH MY--this is INCREDIBLE. What awesome timing.
June 24th, 2012  
Ha! Great title and shot of this flying squirrel!!!!!
June 25th, 2012  
@yonnie @wannabe Thank you!
June 25th, 2012  
@skipt07 Skip, that is the very reason I do not like them. They got into our attic and it was very difficult to run them out.
June 25th, 2012  
what a great 'accident' that was!!! so amazing!
June 25th, 2012  
How Adorable ...your capture and your title!!
June 25th, 2012  
Go! Go! Super Squirrel, go! ;-p Great catch!
