Smile Please...

Ok, I know this isn't a great quality photo, but I find it fairly amusing...

I was walking up through St James' Park this afternoon on my way to Oxford Street to pick up the suit I bought last weekend when I spotted this squirrel happily posing for a snap.

I quickly got my camera out of my bag and took a photo before the opportunity passed, hence the rather poor quality of the shot - Using picnik I messed about a little, giving this a 1970s make-over to try and hide the rough edges...

Today I walked over Westminster Bridge, passed the Houses of Parliament and wandered past Westminster Abbey and didn't stop for a single photo?!?

Maybe it's because I have passed these buildings a 1,000 times or maybe there was too many tourists about and I didn't feel like joining in?!?! Not sure why really as they are great looking buildings...
haha what a great and unusual capture :D

That squirrel is a ham! Possibly looking for a reward. I think this is a great shot regardless of the quality you still captured the moment!

Fantastic Shot!
Wouldn't it be great if the guy in this photo was also on 365? :o)

Fun shot. This is much better than a photo of the Abby or Parliament! What you missed is when the squirrel took the camera/phone and took a photo of the man. Too bad you were in such a hurry to get your suit! Ha.

Very funny! If I had walked in your footsteps today I would have filled 8 Gb's - never been to London. :)

Westminster Abbey will always be there, the photogenic squirrel? probably not. Very sweet photo!

Nice one - I have several pictures of them in the park, too - even a pelican, if I remember correctly :)

Love it. Is it that we all find squirrls endearing or do you suppose he is from some place that doesn't have them? Nice capture.

this is so funny and happily done
