    rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif At the moment, this is probably the closest I'm gonna get to a monkey...:cry I would love to take some shots of the primates...I have a love for them..Gorillas, Chimps, Tams, Orangutans (SP?)..They are just adorable, and so expressive. Oooo I should have been a jungle woman..ha ha.

    FYI, this little lady is a Mommy Squirrel, she is a "regular" at our office...I was just wondering..does anyone know if squirrels pull their fur to line the nest or is it called the den??

    Thanks Charlie.

    Hi Donna! Great capture! Looks like she's playing peek-a-boo. I was so taken by the huge eyes that I didn't notice her chest was so bear. I bet you are correct in surmising that they line their nests with their own fur. I've heard that somewhere before. I'm sure someone will be along that can verify that. Did you use flash with this? The lighting is really good. Great post! thumb.gif

    Thanks EVERYONE...

    Yup I used a Fill Flash with this one..I put a piece of tracing paper on the flash.

    Well at least now I know what happened to her fur...It was either Travis or Harry...lmao Whose Harry?? lol

    That would be me. wave.gif

    Cute rodent shot. I could tell you about squirrels attacking school children in California, carrying the black plague in Colorado, terrorizing bicyclists in Britain, eating dogs in Russia or countless other tales of rodent terrorism but I won't.

    Welcome Tentacion. What a way to start posting, with a squirrel no less, one of Harry's favorite nightmares. rolleyes1.gif

    Very nice capture and gesture you caught.

    Oh My, what a GREAT First Impression I just made....So SORRY Harry, My Humble Apologies!! mwink.gif:D

    No Harry, I don't think I want to know about the "rodent" nightmares, since this little lady is one of my regulars at my office...and I really don't have "alot" of the nature thing going on.....Sometimes we have birds......You know Egrets, Ibis, Herons, Doves, Bluejays, etc...

    Anyways...Thanks for the warm welcome for this Lurker...Much appreciated!!

    Harry, for you a "Morning Dove"....

    He's not finished, still contemplating this one, I feel like it is lacking something..
