This was more of a quick point and shoot, as this little friend didn't hold this position too long, I guess he was just annoyed with the fact 'ring & run'
When people ring your door bell and vanish by the time you answer the door :P

I just found him soo cute, had to increase the brightness a tad bit as the Sun was harsh on the B/G

Squirrel is the common name for rodents of the family Sciuridae (from Greek skia "shadow" and oura "tail"; "tail that casts a shadow"). In everyday speech in the English-speaking world, it usually refers to members of the genera Sciurus and Tamiasciurus. These typical members of the family are tree squirrels with large bushy tails, and are indigenous to Europe, Asia and the Americas. Similar genera are found in Africa. However, the Sciuridae also include flying squirrels, and ground squirrels such as the chipmunks, prairie dogs, and woodchucks. The unrelated family Anomaluridae also have "squirrel" in their common name, though they are usually referred to as "scaly-tailed flying squirrels". The word squirrel comes from the Old French esqurial, which itself comes from the Vulgar Latin word scuriolus (squirrel). The pronunciation of this animal's name varies. The British way uses a short "i", the way the word looks. The American way rhymes with "curl".

Hello Visal,
A very nice shot.. Greetings but why its face is not net enough..
was not a succesfull focus?
i dont think so.. it seems succesfull..
so what........ immm....
yes!!!!!
the backgound, the tree (or the wall?) and it is in nearly same colours!
that is why it is difficult to choose its face..
it could be great if the back gound and the wall were in different colours :(

regards,
Cihan Selcuk Eksi
