Like most little animals, a red squirrel is easier to photograph if there's an obstruction between squirrel and photographer.
|
A key characteristic of tiny red squirrels is their preference for huge nuts: the bigger the better!
|
If worried, a red squirrel will freeze in position, and they blend in with their surroundings.
|
Of course, a sunny day and a terrific walnut are well worth a quiet sit and chew.

Red squirrels enliven any forest!
Photo note: I used a Pentax *ist D, with a variety of lenses for these photos, which were taken over the past year.
