That is one fat squirrel!

Does that mean it will be a bad winter?

Does it mean that I should not have that bowl of ice cream?

Should the animal not have a shadow?

I thought all of those things....................

Oh, and nice photo!

ginger

OK, if I don't eat nuts, I see he has some in his "hands", does that mean the ice cream is OK to eat? That is really a "nicely fed" looking squirrel!

Of course ice cream is ok to eat. Ice cream is a staple. I do not share my ice cream

Bad winter? Hard to say, we certainly had a bumper nut crop=very fat squirrels.

Thanks Ginger

AWSOME PIC!

I took the liberty of throwing this threw CS2 and did some USM on it.
Looked just a tad soft.

Hope you don't mind?

GraphyFotoz · Nov-11-2005, 02:09 PM #9

As for USM (UnSharp Mask) settings I used.

Great shot

We have some of those fat "sqrats" ( squirrel + rat) around here that will eat right out of your hand.

ginger_55 · Nov-11-2005, 05:03 PM #13

I have a couple of Corgis here......................they will eat almost anything, never seen them turn anything down, so maybe they will eat anything, anytime, etc.

Fortunately for them, their owner keeps them on a semi diet watch. No, they do not look like the squirrel, but unfortunately, their owner has no such keeper, she is almost ready for winter, just like the squirrel.

ginger (I did have a Corgi who looked like that squirrel, I didn't know better, she died. Letting a Corgi get fat is frowned on in the Corgi world. They do love to eat. Their keepers are constantly starving them. Most Corgis in the world are being cruely starved.)

Thusie · Nov-12-2005, 03:14 AM #14

Pictures of your Corgis Ginger? They are adorable little guys.

Looks like he going MINE MINE ALL MINE!

We have an unusually heavy nut/acorn crop here this year also. I wonder what is in store for us this winter. This little guy looks like he's ready for the long haul. Cute shot.

Graphy you got it all wrong.

If a photographer falls (busts his/her a**) in the woods, is there anyone around to see it? Or more importantly - anyone there to take a pictures and laugh.:flash
