Squirrely Portraits · 10:36 AM

I haven't really shared many photos here and I'd like to change that. While out walking with my k10d and bigma lens (Sigma 50-500) I came across this fella that came very close to me. I think he was looking for a hand out.

I hate when a fly lands on my whiskers.

Oh I am so bored...

And a BIG old crop to show this guy needs a toothbrush!

comments requested and welcomed!

LaRee,

Nice series. Ground squirrel or tree squirrel?

Looks like he's been through the washing machine a few times

Omigosh! These are great! One after another, they keep getting better!

You and the bigma did well - fly on the wiskers !! Last one is my favorite something out of Warner Bros ......

Laree - those are great!

Where've you been hiding? "Squirreled away" somewhere?

That last shot is so funny! A little dental floss, maybe?

That 'tree rat' looks possessed!

This is a ground squirrel and yes it did look a bit tattered. It has a notch out of one ear and boy do those teeth need a good brushing.

I appreciate the replies. I am sure this guy thought I was going to feed him, he got pretty close. Small little squirrel that I had fun with. I didn't *need* my bigma on at the time but it seems to work well throughout the focal length which is nice.
Again, thanks for the replies!

very nice - I can see what he's thinking on that last one - "where's my handout"

Very nice set of photos LaRee, thanks for posting them but where is the macro of the fly in the second picture? LOL,

Take care, Heinrich

Great set of shots, that last one is priceless....

LaRee · 06-06-2007, 07:06 AM

Thanks Dan, Heinrich and Scott. Yep he was looking for a hand out for sure.
