A squirrel leaping from bough to bough, and making the wood but one wide tree for his pleasure, fills the eye not less than a lion; is beautiful, self-sufficing, and stands there and then for nature… / -Ralph Waldo Emerson

I was spying on this little fella from my dining room window. You can actually see the reflection of my house in his eye. This pic was taken in Rockaway, NJ.
This cute little guy would come around for corn every time I put it out for him.. I just happen to catch him with a piece of corn in his mouth and thought the title fit it…
One of things I love about photography is the first hand observations of your subjects. This Black – Eastern Gray Squirrel was observed knawing away all the peel off the small apple prior to eating its meat. Photo taken with a Canon EOS 20D, a 300mm f2.8 lens and a 1.4t.c. Image was slightly cropped and sharpened with Digital Photo Professional.
This Fox Squirrel looks as though he is ready for the winter months ahead!! lol
Another pretty Fox Squirrel that is new to my backyard. She accidentally spilled over the feeder and was eating seeds that fell all over the ground. /
He’s either sleep walking or something?...
I caught him climbing up the bird feeder pole trying to steel some bird seed.
