This squrriel caught me looking at him

Squrriel

that's right, you better hide .. cause about 50 yards away, Mr and Mrs Osprey live with the Kids ,, and you could be dinner

Perched
hanging out by the nest, waiting for the mate to return for it's turn to fish..Squrriel is smart to stay out of view !!

hope you like em

Vin

Great shot Vinam. We don't have squirrels here, which is probably a good thing. But they do look very cute.

Ha Ha Vin, that is so funny. That squirel really looks like he is keeping out of the way. Your captures are spot on buddy, you can see all the fine detail in both shots. That is one great photograph of the Osprey. Once again Vin your work is of the highest order. Just excellent.

Jake.

These are beautiful, Vin! I love the squirrel's expression - "Oh, not now, I don't have my makeup on and my hair's a mess!" The osprey is just majestic. You've done a wonderful job on these!
