Now where did my tail go?

The squirrels scurrying around the park are irresistible just now if you are out with a camera. They are all so busy, gathering conkers and come and go from all sorts of directions.

If they spot you, they will pause as if to pose for the camera, and then as you are sorted and ready to shoot, they wait for the precise moment that you are about to click the camera, and then they scarper, leaving you with a badly focussed autumn leaf shot.

Hee hee! I do love them but I agree, they are hard to capture. You managed it beautifully, Helen :)

[Catherine Otley]

Great capture. Looks like the tree has eyes, too!

[Gayle]

Love how you captured this cute critter, Helen! Yes, they certainly have a way of scampering off just as the finger is clicking the camera. Fav! :-)

Well caught.

You caught this one though- great shot!

Lol yes that is SO true!!! But you got a wonderful shot with this one. I love how you can see part of his tail under the branch also.

I loved your narrative! I would have been delighted to have caught this image - and the tree has such wonderful markings too
