My friend calls these little creatures "tree rats."  

 

I know we see squirrels everywhere:  in the yard, on the road, up in the bird feeders, and on and on.  But!!!  They usually run off when you get close enough to take a picture.  Well, this one was so intent on his acorn or whatever, that I was able to focus my telephoto lens and get three pictures.  He was still for at least 15 seconds.  

 

Anyway, I love this picture.  This one's for you, Nick.  ;D

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
