Poised

When I encountered this squirrel on the sidewalk, he started running around looking for a place to get away. Once safely in this nearby tree, though, he looked like he was ready to pounce.

Nice sharp image of this Squirel, probably checking back to see if you had some peanuts.

Look out!!! Reminds me of the squirrel in "Christmas Vacation"...

They can sure latch on to tree bark with those sharp toenails.

maibe just curious, he blend so well with the tree, splendid picture!

Superb shot of the squirrel in this stance ... these squirrels run around very fast and stop momentarily only, you were quick on the draw to snap this nice shot of it. V

He's definitely giving you the stink eye.

I love squirrels, but then again, I only see them in other countries! I remember them in America and get excited when I see them in the UK. We have possums, which are only around in the night and can leave a mess on the paths!!
