Since I have nothing else to post, I thought I would share a couple of a squirrel pictures caught the other day. It was a pleasant surprise that this time the squirrel didn’t run off when I opened the window, so I got a number of a frames and some of them quite nice, too.…

It’s spring, there’s no doubt about that. Warm during the day and cold during the night, and the trails are covered with crushed ice rather than soft snow. I went skiing yesterday and the glide was fabulous – unfortunately it was as good sideways and backwards as it was forward. So I took the snowshoes…

We’ve got plenty of the roe deer around here but they’re really shy, so I can just forget about approaching them in full sight, they’ll be long gone before I get to photographing distance. I’ve only really had one reasonably good opportunity to photograph them, that was over two years ago. Since then I’ve of…

Spring is definitely in the air. It was a sunny and warm weekend, the snow cover was reduced by a few centimetres and the roads are thawing in the sunny places, birds are singing and I’m totally un-inspired by it all. Honestly, great weather to be out but I’ve no idea where to point my…

You may (or may not) have noticed that the squirrels have been absent from the blog this winter. The reason is very simple – I haven’t seen any squirrels since early January. The seeds and nuts can go untouched for days so they’re not around here even when I’m not. And when the food did…

I’ll be posting some squirrel images I took yesterday. I’m still trying to figure out if they’re any better than any other squirrels pictures I’ve taken so far. A bit sharper anyway, because there’s enough light to manage low ISOs and/or fast shutters.

I’ve been complaining about how the squirrels eat the bird food, but now I got yet another thief to reckon with – the deer have discovered the squirrel food! I’ve never caught them in the act, but there’s no question about it. The hoof prints around the perches reveal them, and the deer also lick…

Got plenty of sunshine today, but not so many squirrels. For a while I thought that they would be a complete no-show, just a reminder to me why I gave up my wildlife photographer dreams years ago. Landscapes and flowers don’t have feet! Ironically, this is the time of the year I’ve been waiting for…

It’s been a sunny week, but it figures that the clouds arrive for the weekend. We got just a little bit of sunlight yesterday morning, it’s all gone today. The good news is that now that the sun comes up a bit higher in the sky, there’s a fair amount of light even when it’s…

I don’t know what title to give to my squirrel posts anymore… squirrels, squirrels and more squirrels. Well, I’ve got nothing else to shoot when the weather is like this! The first furry visitor to the feeder was Jackie, but it was still too dark for photography. When it got a bit better with light,…
