The Sentinel

Since today was nice - not to hot or humid - I walked over to our Nature and Wildlife Trail. I noticed this squirrel playing sentinel duty. For another picture from the walk see http://365project.org/hjbenson/365/2011-08-11

Did some cropping on this one

Great perspective!

Great capture!!

[Paul Myers]

Oh wow. He looked like a part of the tree when I first looked at it.

@orangecrush Thank you Jerry, I appreciate the comment
@scooter Thank you Scooter, he just stayed like that until I turned and walked away
@webfoot Thank you Paul, and he didn't move once I spotted him.

[Kerri]

Wll! Really cool!

[Harry J Benson]

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, I was surprised at how still he stayed

[Paula]

I think he thinks if he doesn't move you won't notice him. He looks like he froze mid-stride!

[Harry J Benson]

@pwallis Thank you Paula, that was my guess also

[Theresa Morris]

I agree with Paula. You caught him just right.

[Trina P Holub]

Squirrel! :-)

[Harry J Benson]

@morrist Thank you Theresa, and he stayed in that position for a while
@5unflow3r Thank you Trina, they are so much fun to watch their antics
