Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

What a busy day! Spent most of it finishing a Christmas gift for our pastor and his family. While grabbing some lunch I noticed this squirrel playing around on the old bird feeder, so I got my camera and had about 10 seconds to take the shot before he darted off. At 5 pm we went to a neighbor's home for a holiday gathering. Came back home a few hours later and just put the final touches on the gift, did one load of laundry, uploaded two photos to 365 and now (before I go to sleep) I have to iron some of Jeff's dress slacks for church tomorrow! I will be back Sunday night- see you all then!
He is cute. Have a good sleep, sounds like you need it.

It does sound like a busy day! This picture turned out perfectly as it shows the moment that you and the squirrel took to pause. I like it.

Aahh, Maam, the feeder, The feeder, Maam, can you please put down your camera and fill the feeder? I am tired reading your post, but hopefully you get it all done, and ready for the holiday.

Great timing on this capture. I love that you can see the movement of his swishing tail. Instant Fave.

You are certainly one busy lady! I hope at some point you are going to get a break and someone else will do the hard work!

I really like the photo editing of the b&w of this Nice capture. Hope you have a lovely dinner. :-)

@vposey Thanks Vickie! This is a color shot that I reduced to b/w and then used the focal b/w effect in Ribbet to just put the squirrel in color. When the whole shot was color, he really didn't stand out all that much, so that was an easy way to "fix it".
