Just got home......rainy and cold out. I should let sleeping dogs lie.

I know the metal rod through his back does nothing for the pic but I just got home from work and there he was.

I've got all day....LOL...... Day 90.

I'm watching this squirrel doing his thing in the backyard when I see him perk up. I figured he had finally saw me when in reality he probably knew I was there all along. It wasn't me......in a few seconds I see the cat come walking in my backyard. If I would have thought I would have captured him on video jumping in the nearest tree and barking at the cat. The cat didn't seem to care.

Hmmmm, I dunno. See if this is any better.

I posted awhile back a picture of an Albino squirrel and while not as rare, you don't see a black one every day. Taken from my car. Day 91

Day 94

john*thomas · Apr 4, 2014

Same day just posted mostly for future reference and a story. I have this stub tailed squirrel that visits pretty regularly. He looks like he's had it kind of rough at some point. LOL He's the least skittish of the squirrel's. Yesterday there wasn't anything in the feeder so he stood there and barked at me until I put something in it.

I missed this. Generally when they get done eating they run down the rail and leap across to the other side and then down the hand rail. I've wanted to catch one leaping but I wasn't quite ready when he took off. I'll get it sooner or later.

Day 95. Still working on things......the squirrels are getting less leery of me.

I'm completely new in walking up to someone and asking to take their pictures but I had to when I saw this guy this morning. No commentary just a pic in a few different ways. I admit I do not know what way to go here.

Work week so slim pickings.....squirrel was waiting for me to get home to feed him.

john*thomas · Apr 8, 2014

Sorry just another boring pic......He was waiting on me to get home.

Day 100.

john*thomas · Apr 11, 2014

Day 101. These aren't great photo's but they are my attempts to get the two squirrels that regularly visit me to get used to me being there and allow me to get closer. This first one is still pretty skittish and I just missed on the leaping pics.

Now the other one with the bobbed tail allows me to get a lot closer which might explain why he has part of his tail missing. I have noticed how it does throw off his balance.

First two are uncropped. I can get to about 2 feet right now.

Rainy and dreary but I got to go for a little walk between the rain......Some O.K. some still being worked on. Over processed but I kind of like this one this way.
