Baby Harris Squirrel

This summer I observed a little family of Harris Antelope Squirrels that would spend a lot of time sprawling in the late afternoon on some old adobe bricks shortly before bedtime.
C&C welcome.

I like the pose and the composition you have in this image. Good exposure, color and detail. Hope no hawk comes by looking for lunch! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Eirini,

Cute and I quite like the light that's illuminating the back end of the squirrel (tho' I suppose it would be nice if it lit up the whole squirrel and little else in the frame). The top of the brick wall provides a nice leading line here (helping to direct the viewer's eye to the head of the squirrel). I tend to prefer wildlife images that don't include the "hand of man", but that's simply a personal preference issue...

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
