I knew that I wanted a wildlife shot for my baton day yesterday, but I hadn’t taken the camera out in a while so I wasn’t sure what I would get. I stalked the windows and my deck for a while but didn’t see a single bird that wasn’t too far away or moving too fast. Instead, I brought the camera with me while I walked out to the mailbox to get the mail.
This squirrel ran away from me all the way down the driveway. He then took refuge in a short cedar and climbed as high as he could, but soon discovered he was about eye level with me. He panicked and ran away before stopping at a safe distance to eat. Fortunately for me his safe distance was still well within the range of my camera and I was able to get several shots of him eating this spring wildflower right in front of a patch of daffodils.
According to Google and my best guess the flower he’s eating is henbit. I need to better educate myself about the plants growing on my property.
