He’d prefer some hazelnuts! Nice capture. I’m guessing he must practically live in your garden?View attachment 797893
Have a drink
Have you photographed this one before? I seem to remember it on a darker day? Anyway I like.
Looks very wintery. Roll on spring!
By my count, there are at least 4 squirrels in my backyard. Lots of oaks in my neighborhood, as well as many other mature trees to support a diverse set of critters. We get many bird species too.He’d prefer some hazelnuts! Nice capture. I’m guessing he must practically live in your garden?
Nice pictures.How about a marmot (also called a wood chuck)? Every spring a male marmot takes up residence in a big pile of broken pieces of concrete fence in a field behind our house. It takes him a few weeks to recruit a female (or 2!) to join him, a few weeks after that little marmots like the one in the picture appear on the pile.
Junior here decided to dig under the fence and explore the house being built a couple of lots over from ours. While returning from the mailbox, I spied him dashing across the empty lot toward our house, then saw that he had jumped or fallen into the window well. If you look at the size of his claws, you can see why I was concerned about him tearing up the screen while trying to get out.
I borrowed a 2X12 from the construction site and stuck one end in the well. I checked on him from the basement now and then, and it took him about 20 minutes to figure out how to get out. We enjoy the yearly marmot "show"; it sure beats having a row of 2-story houses behind us.

Probably breaking the rules, but here's the little fellow through the basement window. View attachment 797356
He was taking his sweet time figuring it out and I had other things to do.Nice pictures.
Where is the picture of him getting his way back out?
Yes, you're right, it's a revisit to the local Riverside Country Park. Thanks for the nice comment.Have you photographed this one before? I seem to remember it on a darker day? Anyway I like.

Pros get it right in cameraI have been watching YouTube tutorials again....

First attempt at fake motion shots of vehicles. Not up to @steveash standards but I think a decent first (ahem... fourth) attempt... no?
EDIT: OK, so I need to be a bit more detailed in my edits. I need to think about the blur in the fore, mid and backgrounds. Also, as the cars are travelling at different speeds relative to the van, they should exhibit different blur patterns too.
Beautiful.Yesterday I went to a local scenic gardens and was surprised at how many flowers are still in bloom there.....

But if your not using a Nikon I can see why you struggle!

Beautiful.
Well at least your giving new techniques a go.I broke my picture... will have to do it again...
You cant get it in camera when you are there on your own... as usual the camera isnt the limiting factor...
I think that a takedown would be ridiculous, and it shows how little people read or think through a situation and instead just react and/or jump to conclusions. No apology needed, IMO. It was good symbolism—hope in the face of destruction.Sorry... sort of a double post from the pic I posted yesterday:

Kind of a funny story. Facebook flagged my previously posted picture because it was against the community rules for children's safety, and the moderators deleted the post... even if it was mentioned that we would not put our son in danger by posing him next to or near a real fire, and that the original picture was taken 4 days later after the fires passed in day light. Also mentioned... is that I Photoshop'd the original image to add drama. I don't know whether to be upset, or be happy that I actually fooled the Facebook moderators... lol....
Here is the original just in case my previous posted picture offended anyone...
