Got Nuts?!

by Lori Lafargue

Gallery: WildlifePosted November 3, 2016113 views3 comments

It's a particularly nutty Fall this year. The squirrel's need for nuts and acorns has been met with an over abundance of food for these adorable, pesky rodents.  As much fun as they are to watch, they are troublemakers as the winds blow ever colder, building nests in chimneys, attics and garages.  This guy gnawed away at his acorn while keeping an eye on me. After he decided I wasn't a threat, he started posing for the camera!  No, seriously.

I agree, great capture, but needs some room around it.  I enjoy photographing these guys, always something going on.  Good job with this one, nice color, details and pose.  Thanks for sharing.

Cute little begger Lori. Love the nice catch light in its eye. I would like to see a bit more space around the squirrel personally.
