photo challenge week #7 - close-up

Not to be confused with macro
- which I am pretty sure I will be attempting in the not-too-distant future

Little bugger...


Headed to the hardware store - 
Greg: Is there anything you'd like me to pick up while I'm out?
Me: Yes - we're out of suet, but whatever you do don't choose one with nuts...

Yeah - little Nutkins, here, surely is enjoying his peanuty treat
He knows I'm watching him - but he's not looking particularly fazed
As my daughter would say - he's just living his life...

I did a little cropping to get this guy to fill the frame
- but it looked "close-up" to me before
- and I like him so much better than my close-up of the ferns
as long as he stays out of my attic!

Next up - SOOC (straight-out-of-camera) eek!
which will be in two weeks
Have a great weekend!

  5. That is adorable. It looks like he's posing for you quite deliberately.

  7. I think we had a squirrel die in the wall of our bedroom this fall. Talk about stink. Love your close-up of the alive squirrel.

  11. I can never resist taking pictures of these little stinkers. Now I don't have to worry about their bad habits, but back in the days when we fed birds, we certainly bought them a few bagsful of black oil sunflowre seed.

  12. Oh my goodness! He's the cutest little thing! I think you have cuter squirrels up north. The Virginia squirrels look leaner and are not as cute.
