Good capture of the environmentalist Tick. It looks as though he jumped on to the log and is slightly stunned. (or was it on a tree and you turned it horizontal?)

Great shot of this adorable environmentalist . He looks pretty serious about not letting this tree ... his home fall victim to a saw . Great title and narrative .

I ought to get a prize. I mentally said squirrel as soon as I saw the title.
Really nice, Ron. Detail on detail. Also makes me wonder if he could jump from that position.

That squirrel looks like he is hanging on for dear life. He might feel better if you tipped him upright! I like your treatment on this and I also like the horivertizontical format!! LOL.

I don't know if that squirrel was climbing and you rotated the image or he fell from a tall tree and landed on a big log. Nice work on this image Tick.

Overrun is right. Along with their cousins the chipmunks. Interesting take on this.

I like these little guys (and gals)! Awesome job Tick. The first thing that came into my mind when I saw this was that he looks a bit like a pin-up out of magazine made for squirrels!

The importation of these greys have decimated the red Squirrels over here!...So they are classed as 'vermin'..

However though, this does not detract from this amazing posting!...good capture, you musta had a keen eye to spot this...and the details are superb

Surprised you managed to get this close to one these skittish creatures, so well done for that. I would have liked to have seen this in portrait though.

Was he really horizontal? I thought he was swimming on a raft or on the rapids. Did you tell him to "Stick 'em up"? He might make a nice wall hanging.

Cute shot. Nice and sharp as always.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Tick - Squirrel can be defined as a rat with a furry tail. That said, this is an excellent capture! Thad

He's really got to work on his chameleon powers if he wants to blend in with his environment. A nicely captured closeup on the squirrel, Tick. Good textures and lighting in the photo.
