Inspiring Photo: Whew! Now I can enjoy my nutty treat! #9194405

Whew! Now I can enjoy my nutty treat!

Uploaded: October 13, 2009

Description

The sca-wy dog is gone, so NOW I can enjoy this tasty walnut! There's a strange creature looking my way, and it's pointing this black thing at me. Don't know what it is, but it's name tag says 'Nikon.' Whatever that is...

Anyway, mom told me to watch out for sca-wy dogs, but she never said anything about Nikon creatures, so I guess I'm safe. Still, think I'll just keep an eye on it...

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 10/1600 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 640, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80

You capture the greatest squirrel images, Tess, and this is no exception. Perfect for fall with the acorn and downed leaves. #8033822

Cute little fluffy guy -- wonderfully detailed action shot, Tess! #8033842

Melissa G. Meiselman October 13, 2009

Great shot of this squirrel taken with fine detail and great composition, Tess!!

My very young subjects see a monster labeled "Canon" pointing at them and they would rather touch it than let it look at them. I get lots of finger prints on my lens before I can tell them the rules. #8033862

Tammy M. Anderson October 13, 2009

Wonderful clarity and capture, Tess. He is to cute. #8033864

Tess L. Yee October 13, 2009

Once again, WeeBold and I appreciate all the really generous and terrific comments!

I don't envy your fingerprint scenario, Melissa! It's bad enough trying to get my own nut-oil-laced 'paw prints' cleaned up! #8033889

Tess- An adorable picture accompanied with a hilarious caption. To funny girl. I love watching these little critters and the way they are either burying their assortment of nuts and then digging them back up. Love to watch them chase each other. A gorgeous, super clear picture here with this little one with the nut in his paws. Gorgeous color and I especially love that bushy tail.
Fantastic work my friend.
Have a wonderful day and do enjoy. #8036010
