On Tuesday, while camping, we went squirrel hunting and shot a bunch of them. We shot them with our new Nikon D60 with it's 55-200 telephoto lens. The squirrels all ran off when they saw us coming, but we sat still in an empty campground for a while and soon they came back out. Here's a handsome fellow that we must have shot 50 times. I'm sure he thought we were paparazzi.
We also found a gopher pushing dirt out of its nest right at our feet. After sitting quietly for a while, we noticed him peeking out of his hole. Unfortunately, he had his back to us and the scene was quite dark. This photo has been processed to increase the brightness considerably.
he IS a handsome fella.... reminds me of my trip to yosemite last year and the 30 minute video footage of the darndest, cutest squirrel ever.... will have to send wollfie over to take a peek.... we know how much he LOVES squirrels...
