FauxBold...again

Uploaded: September 13, 2009

Description

She has a habit of sitting just behind me. It's (literally!) a pain to twist around, so I slowly laid back on the sidewalk. She was no more than 18" from my head, and munched away as though she hadn't a care in the world.

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D40

That's a really nice pose, Tess. Squirrels are wonderful to watch. I love them, little seed theives that they are. :) #7945753

Tess L. Yee September 15, 2009

Thanks for the comment, Mitch! They don't need quite as many seeds when I'm around (thanks to the 1 pound bag of walnuts I carry every visit!). #7945773

Eric Highfield level-deluxe September 17, 2009

You certainly have a innate understanding of these little fellows. Makes for great photos like this.

Love this gallery, makes me smile everytime! :) #7951729

Tess L. Yee September 18, 2009

Thanks for the wonderful comment, Eric!

Yes, my understanding is as follows: I'm a prey animal, so while I'm acclimated to humans, I don't really TRUST you! Don't move abruptly or make loud noises. Remember, I like nuts. I mean, yeah...I really LIKE nuts! :)

I'm glad they bring a smile to your face. They certainly do the same for me. #7953035

Mike Clime September 18, 2009

Cute capture! My dog loves to chase them out of his yard. #7954102

Ellen Hodges September 18, 2009

Thanks for those wonderful comments, Bojan & Carol! It always makes me smile when one of my fuzzbutts gets some 'BP love'! #7955270

John Anderson September 19, 2009

Laurence Saliba level-classic September 19, 2009

Ohhhhhhhhh he's so cute!!! Perfect capture Tess!!!! #7955951

Tess L. Yee September 19, 2009

Thanks for those great comments, John & Laurence!

This little gal will chase me down to get nuts, and when there are no rowdy boys around, she will sit just to the side (and slightly behind me) to eat. #7956033

Ann Coates level-classic September 19, 2009

Gorgeous capture of your little furry friend. She has rewarded your treats with letting you take photos of her. Excellent work Tess. #7956489

Tess L. Yee September 20, 2009

Thank you for the wonderful comment, Ann! This sweet gal is one of two or three that simply walked up and 'begged' for a nut the first time they saw me. She is kind enough to sit beside me, allowing me to shoot her (with the macro, as she is much too close for the telephoto!). #7958369

Nikki McDonald level-classic September 20, 2009

Wonderful detail on this squirrel and the pose is perfect. Love your description of yourself getting the shot -- would have liked to have a capture of that myself. #7958643

Susie Peek-Swint September 20, 2009

What a wonderful little model you have Tess.. terrific capture ~ I do believe she poses for you .. and like Nikki I'd love to see a shot of you taking this one ~ lol! #7960314

Tess L. Yee September 20, 2009

Thanks for those really awesome comments, Nikki & Susie! This gal is such a blast. I'm certain I was a sight as I lay there with my face on my arm and my camera bag tucked, well...I don't even know where I had it! #7960430

Tiia Vissak September 20, 2009

Susan Weisensel September 20, 2009

Really a cute capture Tess, that nut he has sure looks good. #7963746

Chris Ebben September 20, 2009

What photographers do to get a good picture. A friend saw her G'son laying in the gutter, drove around the block, pulled up & was just going to phone the ambulance when he spotted her & waved. He was just getting down close to the ground to take a picture looking up of a nearby building. All that aside, this is a lovely close-up of your friend=^..^= #7964470

Tess L. Yee September 21, 2009

Thanks for those really terrific comments Tiia, Eugenio, Susan, & Chris! I love when they're close enough that I can hear them munching! #7965299

Douglas Pignet September 22, 2009

Mark Dodge September 23, 2009

Sheesh!!! Do you have all of these cutie pies trained or what? Awesome details. I can see the manicure on this one is nearly perfect :o) Killer shot, Tess. #7975003

Howard B. Cheek September 27, 2009

Back at squirrel central and me & that squirrel are having a face to face talk..
FauxBold says he wants you to switch to organic nuts only.
He must know my wife ;-} #7989068

Tess L. Yee September 28, 2009

Hahaha, Howard! Sure. Organic. But only if the squirrels agree to limit themselves to three nuts each, with five each for my favorites! On good weekends, I go through more than a pound of nuts! #7989772

Toni Riggs November 10, 2009

Your squirrel pictures are adorable! Great work! #8120355

Joanna Madloch February 10, 2010

Tess, the squirrel series just brighten my day as I am stuck here, snowed in, with the broken ankle. Beautiful pictures, funny comments, great story! #8371237

Tess L. Yee February 10, 2010

Thank you for the very kind comment, Joanna! I'm happy that they brighten your day (they certainly do that for me!). Hope the ankle heals quickly, and the snow melts soon! #8371308
