Description

Look, lady. I appreciate the nut. Really, I do. But I'm a young chap, and we're not all that tight, you and I. Maybe someday, I'll be just like ScarBack, and calmly sit and pose for you. Right now, I've got my eye on you...so no sudden moves or I'll be up this tree faster than the shutter speed on that fancy black Nikon thingy!

Exif: Model: NIKON D700

Sincere thanks for all of these wonderful comments! This little fella was so ridiculously cute, sitting directly in front of me while munching away. Fortunately, it was an overcast day...his particular dining spot is either cloaked in shadow or bathed in harsh light, when it's a sunny day. #8415917
