[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am back after a short holiday in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. And it was great as always.

A ground squirrel found something green to chew on in a very dry part of the country.

Thank you for your visit, I hope you enjoy this.

Regards,

BEn

Hello Ben,
This is close!!!... :) We don't have those beautiful animals here and it's always a joy to see them. This is a great portrait with good exposure, details, action caught and composition. Thanks!

Hi Ben,
thanks for sharing this "intimate moment" ot the squirrel with us. great picture, well captured, perfect composition, good colours. What I really like it the way the squirrel holds his leaf, the little thing looks almost human in his gesture. I love it. Hope to see more soon

Hi Ben,
Did he share? Excellent macro of this little critter, nice lighting and details ! TFS Julie

Hi Ben,
Do I see you standing there making this picture in the reflection of his eye?
I'm sure the holiday was much too short. No matter how long your holiday is, it always feels too short.
Love the chewing action and the way his little "hands" are holding on to his treat.
Of course excellent details here.
We were worried because in the weather report (we only know about Bloemfontein) is was only rain, thunder and not so nice. Seems to have been no problem here.

Hi,

I love squirrels... :-) I am almost sure that if I could enlarge this photo and zoom in on his eye, I could probably see you taking the photo :-) Great clarity and detail.
