Hiding Squirrel

One picture today, yes, just one picture! But it's one that I like. This is the little squirrel that lives in my backyard. I came upon it as it was out visiting some of the other trees and I was out walking Isabella. I must have surprised the poor little thing because I was at a different place than I usually am.

I saw the little squirrel scurrying through the trees, but when he saw me he quickly ran behind these branches and wouldn't come back out. I waited for quite some time, but the little squirrel stayed in this one spot the whole time.

I stood there taking picture after picture hoping to get a clearer view, but I ended up with this same picture about twenty times. Eventually I gave up and went away, probably to this poor little guy's great gratitude. The dog wanted some excitement, so we found her a good place to pee, her favorite thing to do. A short but good adventure.

    I like the blue background color in your photo! It is neat! The squirrels around here are building nests.

    The sky was clear that day, and it shined through the tree in a good way. That blue glow is what revealed the hiding place of the squirrel to me.

    He came real close, but his hiding place wasn't quite good enough.

    I'd love to see one of those where I live now. I'll have to bring back the picture of the red squirrel I have that looks similar to this picture.

    I think it's a great picture of him Ratty. He's just hiding a bit. The sun sure gives him a nice red tinge.
    Have fun. I'm so glad you have Isabella.

    Thanks. I was glad the squirrel hid there. I wouldn't have gotten the picture from anywhere else on the tree.

    The squirrel totally did NOT want to be photographed. I know the feeling.

    I think that squirrel might like being photographed a little more if it was featured in cool calendars and other things like you are. You should be proud.
