While walking in Spiegel Grove today, this squirrel came running up to me like he knew me. I guess he thought I was going to feed him.

Don't kid me. He's clutching his food tightly. He was afraid you were going to take it from him. He probably thought you were the biggest nut he had ever seen. He might be right. Great capture Jim Bob. See you have some snow there also.

Wonderful capture, Jim. Is he clutching food or is he making fists with his paws. You may want to back off a little from the critters ;)

Ah, the trials and tribulations of a person out with a telephoto lens and your subject actually comes up close...I've had it happen to me before, and it made me understand why when you see some ppl out and about shooting they have more than one camera strapped on and diferent lenses on each!!

Great shot...it's clear, colorful and very dramatic.

He is full of personality and you did a great job of getting the exposure right despite all that white snow. Great snap.

You really did catch his personality. He looks great against the snow doesn't he? It's the same thing here, they'll come running up to you and in some places will even run up your leg. I guess they need all the food they can get before hibernating. Kind of an appealing idea isn't it? A big meal and then sleep for three months...

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.

Jim, although you said that the picture didn't turn out very good, it's a wonderful and a very cute image to me. Think the squirrel must have been very hungry. Anyhow a great shot.

This is a great shot Jim. I think that if you cropped in tighter on the squirrel it would be an awesome shot of it. If he could talk to us it looks like he would be saying, "Boy is it cold out here! Gotta keep my diggers warm!" Nice capture of another of those special moments in time.

Looks like he wasn't about to share his nuts with you. Great capture of his reaction to you standing there. Nice and clear. Good work! We keep getting snow flurries over here but nothing good for picture taking.

This is wonderful, Jim. He probably did think you had food for him. I can't believe you have this much snow!

Interesting Jim...this guy sure is used to humans...someone must have been feeding him...too bad you did not have nuts he probably would have ate out of your hand...nice capture of him!!...gerry
