Squirrel No. 2 of 2009


BACKYARD SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, MARCH 29, 2008

Pentax K10D
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF)
1/180 sec. f11
ISO 400

For long seconds this specimen stood stock still, eyeing me suspiciously, as if I was the first human he had spotted close up all winter. By the end of spring he and his kin will think of us folks like comfortable old backyard furniture to be neglected and ignored, unless we feed them regularly.
