Squirrel watching me! by jamibann

Squirrel watching me!

Posting this one early for tomorrow, as I sense that my computer will be monopolised by my husband as he will be watching both of the Six Nations Rugby matches.

I had to laugh this morning as I was leaning out the bedroom window getting shots of birds, when I looked up and spotted this fat fella' sitting in the sunshine on a big tree branch looking down on me! Don't often see these orange bellied squirrels here, most of them are pretty grey underneath. I thought he was handsome specimen.
Great light, focus and eye contact. I love his intense stare.

Great shot! Love his expression. He is definitely keeping his eye on you while you're shooting. Love these little guys - especially when they hold their tail up like this. Makes a great photo and your colors are wonderful.

Excellent shot, Issi. He is adorable. I think he is a ham and loves to have his picture taken.

CUTE!! I thought about you today when I was shooting some squirrel antics… unfortunately they didn't make it into my project, the birds were just too lovely not to share.

I am suffering zoom lens envy ;-) Such a great shot - you almost feel you could reach out and stroke his fur!

@elinreppe @jesperani @lucypics @randystreat @northy Thanks everyone, I can never resist a squirrel! @squaresparrow I have lens phases SS - at the moment it is the zoom, I must admit. Before that it was the 100 mm which will be back once the leaves are on the trees and I can't get at the birds and squirrels so well!

Gorgeous shot Issi, and I agree, he's a handsome one. Just love the light and dof, fav for me! He was probably thinking: "Why is she taking pictures of birds when I'm here?"

Super squirrel shot, love how he is looking at you.
February 23rd, 2014  
A handsome specimen indeed, he does look well fed unlike the scrawny one who visited my garden yesterday.
February 25th, 2014  
What fun to drop in and see you had a lovely visitor, too! Nicely captured...
