Squirrel Appreciation Week (Really)

A few from my backyard.  Nikon D800 80-400mm lens

Tree Rats in Abundance

With three walnut trees surrounding my back yard I have an abundance of arboreal varmints clambering everywhere. When they aren't messing around in your attic or eating the well-tended harvest of tomatoes squirrels are kinda cute. With apologies for any unintended offense to commenter RJSciurus who takes his squireliness very seriously. All but one of these shots are of the same animal who would actually stop and pose when I aimed the camera at him/her.

WHAT?
