Aww New Young Squirrel

[PixelRabbit]

Since the weather is simply gorgeous we have been enjoying outside more and that means we get to meet all the new guys this spring

This little fellow is brand spankin' new and too stinkin' cute! Other than him being smaller than Mom and Dad you can still just see the rounder baby face on him at certain angles.

He was really leery at first and watched Mom and Dad each take their turns at the feeder with us there. He was very unsure at first and would take the furthest seed possible from us and go to the other end of the railing to eat it. Eventually he got sick of this and sat and ate.... as far away as possible lol I gave him a day or two before I pointed the camera at him, I didn't want to be rude lol

The light is always pretty low on the deck because it's covered and mostly sheltered on 3 sides so the settings on these are 1/200 F5.6 (wide open) ISO 640. They are still a little dark on the right side and I bet a well place reflector on the deck would have solved that nicely I might have to try that on a calm day.

I can almost see him twisting his foot back and forth in this one kinda like "aw shucks" lol












I sooooo wish I didn't clip his ear in this one






A little more DOF in this one would have been really really nice.

I wasn't sure how to translate my high pitched squeeking related to all the adorableness into words. Something between "EEEeee!" and "Awww!"

 

[PixelRabbit]

Haha, perfect

That last one is pretty crazy high on the cute factor.
Btw...when I read the title I thought...god, I hope this isn't a shot of her cat playing w/ a dead baby squirrel...hehe YAY, it wasn't!

Thanks Kevin and Mish

Haha! Luckily not a squeaky toy Mish! Much to their chagrin they are indoor cats (that is until they actually DO get outside, then it's all fun and games until too many things move, then it turns into sketchy town and they start lookin for the way back in lol
