This squirrel is shedding what looks like a soft undercoat. She may want to hang on to that sweater for another couple of weeks. I'm not seeing too much warm in the forecast yet.

Absolutely no one.

I had a pet snail once. The people at the pet store told me he was from Spain. I named him Escar. I came home from school one day and he wasn't in his tank. I remember asking my mother, "Where did Escar go?"


( who didn't see that coming?)

Gasps Did he Esca-ped out?
or did he:

I'm not sure you can see them unzoomed or uncropped but ...

With a heavy crop, I can just make the little green legs.

I found this lovely little bush with ripe leaves and the flies were dancing all over the place.

I didn't have any other lens with me and since Sony FE 85mm f 1.8 has poor minimum focus I decided to play with subject isolation and lots of bokeh.

I quite like the look of the output, the sharpness really helps to keep the fly clear at 0.8 meters distance.

The horizontal crop holds up very well.

Even more cropping leaves me more impressed with the sharpness of the lens.

This is a great shot. You can't help but wonder what is going through it's mind.

Our Red Squirrel is back. Today is the first time I've seen him this year.

We have about a dozen squirrels that come in the back yard throughout the day, both Gray squirrels and Black Squirrels. This little Red Squirrel is about half their size but rules the buffet. It will chase every one of those other squirrels away, often multiple squirrels at once. He is the fastest in the forest and fun to watch. He also likes home made biscuits as much as the other squirrels.

They always seem to know when I pull something out of the cookie jar.
