Sweet Thing

There, in the towering oak. Snuggled close to the trunk where she thought she’d blend in. She might have, were it not for the light hitting the nibbled acorn just right. 500 heavy millimeters aimed at some colorful leaves can quickly switch positions, and a window can quickly be thrown open, and a trusty tripod can get a quick kiss for making it possible to capture this sweet thing!

I like viewing this image best on the black background.

What a marvelous find - of course, I'm partial to these little guys, but your focus and composition are terrific - the lighting is wonderful. Fav

How precious! And perfectly posed too. Good job, catching this from inside your recovery zone. :)

[Jane Anderson]

Very cute! I can really relate to how hard it is to get one of these when they are so high in the tree. It's amazing what our cameras can do, isn't it?

[Janet B.]

@lyndemc You are right...this was captured from inside my recovery zone! I was intending to photograph some colorful leaves from a window! Thank you for commenting and for the fav. She really was a sweet thing, sitting there nibbling the acorn in the safety of the tall oak tree.
