Beautiful detail and DOF, here, Kerri. I'm fascinated by the wildlife that surrounds us. This squirrel has a good bit of red/brown in its fur...the ones I see here in the city of St. Louis are the gray variety. My partner and I have adopted a little (well, not so little anymore) squirrel that was born with (what we thought was) a tumor covering one eye. We started feeding (nuts) the little fellow thinking he'd never make it through the summer. Well...to our surprise, he not only made it but the tumor (or infection, whatever it was) is now gone and he visits us most days (we recognize him by his tail and the one eye is a bit smaller than the other). You, obviously, have a love for wildlife so I just thought I'd share that. I always enjoy my visits here to your site. Have a nice weekend...rll
Kerri, lovely image. i think it can be such a bother to wait for animals to "pose" for the camera-- but either you got lucky, or you're one patient individual! :)
