The squirrel is bound and determined to get at these peanuts... This feeder is a special so called ‘squirrel proof ‘peanut feeder for the birds. It is a challenge for them, but they do manage.
The bit of green just below the paws of the squirrel is a mesh bag which held seeds inside of suet. This rascal had gone through that in a matter of hours.
This shot was taken at my friend,Gina's place. At my own place I had a special feeder for the squirrels, so they left the birds in peace.

Taken in spring, just as the tamarisk leafed out and the Japanese quince were blooming. The quince are so colourful and the first welcome harbringers of spring.

PP work
Soft focus here. Another one of my challenges. The image was shot through a heavy window, was seriously washed out and basically unusable. I did a test run in Lightroom 2 to try to resurrect the image. Lightroom 2 did an admirable job and I am really impressed with the programme.

HI Joni
Its that time of year when they are stocking up for what's to come.
Good shot of the squirrel whose brain is working overtime trying to figure out what's next
