My pal the squirrel.

Went out for a photo walk this afternoon, and spotted this guy up a tree. Realised I'd not only been at this tree before, but photographed the very same squirrel, back in March! His tattered ear gives him away! Check out his previous appearance on 365 ...

Wow Issi, it looks like you are nose to nose with him! I love his whiskers...this is a terrific shot!

Tried to put a link to the photograph of 25th March, but can't get it to work for some reason.

[Issi Bannerman]

@dgrynn Not quite nose to nose Deb, I had my 300mm lens on him, but he stayed very still!

[Michelle]

So cute! I can't believe how close he looks.

[Nita]

What an adorable capture, I love the wonderful detail on your pal, he is pretty cute.

[Simply Amanda]

How close you got. Love it!

[Clare]

Oh, I love squirrels! You can't get much closer than this to their cute little faces!! ha! :>) FAV!

[Louise & Ken]

You got a wonderful DOF by using that long lens! There's certainly no mistaking this little guy/gal! Next time leave peanuts as a thank you for the photo...you'll be fast friends before long! (Do I tell Clare, above, just how close it's possible to get?!)

[Cathie]

What a great close up! Wonderful capture!

[KWind]
