"Let me tell you 'bout the squirrels and the bees"

That's not exactly how the song goes, but oh well.

I'm a sucker for ground squirrels. Happened to snap this just as a honey bee flew through the frame, amazingly within the fairly narrow depth of field. Too bad I wasn't shooting faster (1/3200), but lucky nonetheless.

I kinda like it.

    Can't wait for Harry's comments. I think this is an excellent squirrel photo! Best, Pam

    I love the colors, the comp, and the exposure. Very nice piece of work.

    To make a furry, evil, disease carrying, destructive, child attacking, rodent look good is no easy task.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    That is the fattest squirrel I have ever seen, hands down! Best, Pam

    It probably got that fat from eating its young. Squirrels are cannibals you know.
