Squirrels

[Billy Rolfe]

So one of my favorite things to take pictures of are squirrels. I don't know why, but they are just fun to watch and get pics of. So thought that I would share some of my favorite ones with you all.18461847184818491850

More of my favorites, I especially love the last two.

Yesterday, I saw a white squirrel. It was not albino, but pure white. Sorry, no picture.

Pictures . . . hmmm. I guess squirrels are good for something after all.

Hey, thanks for the pictures!!! When we were in DC we saw a lot of squirrels (not politically speaking here.....LOL) -- but every time I'd try to get a picture, they'd scurry off.....I never did get one. You must have some patience!!!

I don't see the white ones very often. Now, I am not a squirrel expert, so I am not sure if the white one is a different kind of squirrel or if it means that it's an older one or what. But it was cool to see.

I am glad to post them and hope to begin posting more to this board, I love to share my pics for everyone to see. Yea, there is a little patience I think because they are one of the things I enjoy taking pics of so it's easy to wait for a good pic. But the other part of it is keeping my distance a little, and trying not to get too close to them or they do run away. I love the last two I posted because, at least to me, it seems like they were posing for the camera. Although I'm sure that was it right? LOL

A good zoom is helpful.

I took this one at Hershey Gardens a year and a half ago. I used a 20x zoom to get this.

Yea, that is true. I am not sure what zoom I did for these pics though.

Love this pic.

That is interesting, I don't think I have heard them called that. But it makes sense, I just don't always think about squirrels as being in the same family as rats.

My dad had two squirrels that would eat peanutbutter and crackers out of his hand......he would sit on his back porch every morning reading his paper, and he started by putting the pb/cracker on the other side of the porch, then closer and closer each day to his chair -- until finally he was able to hand feed them.

He called them......

Pete and Re-Pete........

LOL

But no pictures -- I guess I didn't raise him right........LOL

That actually sounds kind of fun, I would like to be able to get that close to a squirrel just so that I could get a pic. I tend to take my camera everywhere I go, because you never know what you will see. I guess the way that I figure, you will find something great to take a pic of on the day you don't have it with you, but wouldn't see when you have the camera.

My grandma used to have one that would come up to our backdoor and take bread out of her hand. Then I got up one summer morning and found the squirrel in the living room. I guess he'd decided he was ready for breakfast and had made a hole in the screen door to come in and look for it! We fed the squirrels away from the house after that.
