Thanks for the comments.

A beautiful take on the little trouble maker, er, I mean critter. He's so golden, just like his surroundings and appears to be up to no good! Great capture, Jimbob!

A wonderful shot of our squirrel friend Jim. This image is so clear. How did you get so close and how did you get him/her to pose like this?

And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

A beautiful shot and very well done! I attempted to take a shot of one of these little guys, and had my shot framed perfectly, and up nice and close, but the little guy spazzed out right when I pressed the shutter release because a guy turned the corner near the tree he was on. All I have is a blur of a squirrel as a result. :} I know it takes a great deal of patience to shoot animals, and these little guys are tougher than the ordinary nuts to photograph. :D :) Have a great day!
