That's not exactly how the song goes, but oh well.

I'm a sucker for ground squirrels. Happened to snap this just as a honey bee flew through the frame, amazingly within the fairly narrow depth of field. Too bad I wasn't shooting faster (1/3200), but lucky nonetheless.

I kinda like it.

Can't wait for Harry's comments. I think this is an excellent squirrel photo! Best, Pam

I love the colors, the comp, and the exposure. Very nice piece of work.

To make a furry, evil, disease carrying, destructive, child attacking, rodent look good is no easy task.

That is the fattest squirrel I have ever seen, hands down! Best, Pam

It probably got that fat from eating its young. Squirrels are cannibals you know.

Very neat capture in the first one Marc, kind of like that one.
