Boy is that a unique macro! Kinda makes my flowers look sort of wimpy! How close did you have to stand?

Sallie, I was about 6 feet away and I also used my zoom lens. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

That is an extraordinary macro subject. The snout looks so shiny and slimey. **shiver

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
