Squirrel

Post by Herb »

This isn't a new picture, but I don't think I ever posted it here. I just happened to have my camera with me when I saw it - and luckily for me, the squirrel decided to freeze.

I moved very cautiously as close as I could to about 8 feet away, & also luckily the camera had zoom. How it kept so absolutely still amazed me - squirrels twitch and flick their tails so much - but it didn't move a whisker or even blink.
