These little buggers live in a park not far from my home. Every once in a while I go there with some nuts to feed them, specially in the winter. I never had a chance to use this lens outdoor since I got it last June. Couple days ago I went to the park with the K20D and the lens to take some pictures of these little guys. I tell you, it’s not easy to take pictures of squirrels with a manual focus lens. They just move too fast to lock focus on them. Once they get the nuts in their hands and settle down to eat, then you get a chance to take pictures. The pictures were taken in jpeg, 6mp resolution. Did some PP in photo shop, Mainly brightness, contrast and saturation. They always make me smile, I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Nice series, Rupert will have something to say about it I'm sure!
About the lens, I'm picking up this very lens tomorrow. The M 135mm f/3.5 is in mint condition according to the seller.

Looks like a sweet lens - very sharp. Nice series those little fellows are appreciative of the food it seems.

Here are few more pictures of those cute little things. For some reason, these little buggers fascinate me. It's a lot of fun just watching them anyway.
Lens is the same, M 135mm f/3.5 and some PP done. The last one is my favourite.
