HAPPY SQUIRREL
This is an Eastern Fox Squirrel. It is the largest of the squirrels we have here in Ohio. I have tried many times over the summer to get a good squirrel shot in the morning with backlighting...and without blowing the highlights. This guy sat there long enough that I could try some different angles. I loved his facial expression...so I made it my DP choice of the day...but my second and equally favorite is here:http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/1855638/1/102308258 I liked them both for different reasons...This one for the facial expression...

This is my last post for about a week. We are going to Cape May, NJ to see the bird migration that comes each Fall down the Eastern seaboard. I hope to get some good bird pictures...HA! If only they'd hold still long enough to get one! We'll see how my 30D does with that machine gun burst...and how well the weather holds up for photographing. See you soon...
