This little guy was so noisy, I couldn't help but stop working to take his photo. I really wanted to get a shot of my cat observing the squirrel, but alas...it wasn't meant to be.

First, these are a beautiful shots, and the one on the middle is perfect.
Second, we don't have this chipmunk where I live, and I am wondering if this cute guy :-) (usually) is kept as a pet, or he is a street animal ... I don't know but all what I know that I like it and I wish if I can have one in my apartment :-)

LOL.

As a person who loves photography, I would love to say:

Perfect middle shot (as Hani stated). Excellent.

Well, he's actually a squirrel. They don't make very good pets, typically. They spend most of their time in the trees, though you'll find them on the ground looking for food occasionally. In some of the city parks are Seattle, they're actually a bit overweight, since they've come to equate humans with food. This little guy lives very near to our building, and spends a good deal of time munching away on the fence. Drives the cat crazy, as she sits, observing him from the balcony. Thank you for all your comments!

Squirrels are scary, back in school, We used to sit on this park bench outside of the library, and they would plop down next to ya, almost like they wanted to carry a conversation.

The scary part was, you never knew if the squirrel would go crazy and try bite ya.

We had a resident squirrel in the courtyard behind our dorm in college. We had nicknamed him "Bart", and he would actually run up your leg and sit on your shoulder. I SWEAR that squirrel knew his name. My sister saw who she thought was Bart about a 1/4 mile away from our dormm. Like a lunatic, she called his name, and the squirrel responded.
