Your shot tels me about the art of photography. Taking a very common moment with a very common subject and raise it to one of a kind picture, making the subject a star. Nice and warm fall colors. Perfect focus to detailed this cute guy and the cone. The piece of cone floating in the air pop in action. Also appreciate your nice writing.
Thank you for your kind comments Yves. He was a pleasure to photograph and gave me lots of time. I actually sat on the ground to get this shot. I agree my favourite part is the scale flying off the cone as 5he little guy chews on. Somehow words come easier when you have had a good interaction with the subject.
What a happy looking camper he is too. Very nicely captured Debra. They're pretty busy around here gathering up the cones for winter and are always fun to watch.
Thanks Heather, he was sure fun to watch. The only time he would get aggressive was when another squirrel got too close.
He stopped chewing a few time to check me out but was basically fearless. He does appear to be pretty fluffy. Thanks for feedback Scott.
Thank you Jane. This time of year they are trying to get in a couple of the sheds on the property.
