Squirt - just for fun

[Kerry Perkins]

First posted this a couple of years ago, thought it might be fun to re-visit. This feisty fellow lives in my neighborhood and used to raid my feeders. We are in a state of truce for the moment, as I made the feeders inaccessible. This image was taken at the height of one of our epic struggles, and he was harassing me from outside my window. I put the polarizing filter on in hopes that it would help with the shooting through glass.

A squirrel with attitude- just what you need Kerry!! Love the look and the stance. Who won the staring contest??

I remember when you used the 50D. This is a good example of pose telling a story. Some call it position, pose or gesture but it can make or break a picture. Love the perch as well - nice moment in nature and I assume you are still winning the battle or squirrel hill.

I think I remember this guy, Kerry. He looks like he's trying to figure out his next move.

I swear, if the window glass hadn't been there he would have come after me! Serious attitude but so far I am winning! He was very unhappy that I had moved all the feeders to places he couldn't reach.
