New Kid in Town

I was more tired from the cleaning job I did yesterday than I thought! I slept late this morning (and I mean mid-morning late!), and completely lacked any energy most of the day. But I did manage to do some minor house cleaning of my own, cook dinner and do some wash. So, good for me!

While I was washing up the lunch dishes I noticed a little red body scamper across the leaves. Chipmunk! No, that's too big for a chipmunk. Hmmmm.... there it goes again- oh! Wait a minute! That's a red squirrel! Let me tell you, this little guy was fast!! But I hope he comes around again. I'd sure like to get a closer shot of that adorable little entertainer. Today I was just too slow with the zoom.
I love all the tones of rust in this shot...fantastic fall image

Love your title and it's a great fall shot. The tree textures contrast well with the leaves.

Aww cute little fellow. The house cleaning can do that so that´s why I tend to avoid it, kidding!

I can't get over how red he is. Cute capture

Great pic! I love how he matches the background leaves too!

I could fall in love with this beautiful red squirrel and would love to have him climb up and run down our tree and who knows, maybe he'll chase the other squirrels away if he makes it his territory. you did great capturing it and hopefully you get more opportunities for some other shots.

He is so cute, you did well to capture him in focus, great shot.
