  • Foraging for food.
  • February 6, 2011-What'cha doing? I was shooting some birds and watching them through the lens, as I moved the camera I was expecting to see a bird and this is what popped up! I wasn't paying attention, never saw him come into the yard or my view. Nice surprise! Day 37-#365Project @sharkbayte
  • Apprently he wanted to pose for another shot before he would move so I can get to the door. After this shot he took off up the tree which is to camera left out of frame. I was so hoping when I opened the door Jasper wouldn't come running out. The squirrel was only 4 feet above my head on the tree.
  • Bold and brazen at that. He didn't care I was eight or so feet him. he wasn't moving. So I put the camera to my face and shot this. Then he turned around I got another shot and then he took off to the tree which was behind him. I proceeded up my ramp, as I was going into my door I wanted to make sure he wasn't close by so Jasper wouldn't give chase. The squirrel was about my head about 4 feet away, not a care in the world. I was just happy that Jasper wasn't paying attention to anything other than his toy. Day 21:365 @sharkbayte
  • The yard was filled with over a dozen squirrels and some birds. As I was trying to focus on a squirrel Willie the cat came running through the yard and the squirrels scattered. Here are two who ran to safety.

  • Yesterday it was in the sixty's today much colder. Even though the sun was out, you could see your breath. So much for being in the south for warm temps. Day 04 (2011.01.04) @sharkbayte
  • Just chilling and relaxing today. Starting off pretty well, the weather is warmer and my chair is back!! Yay! now I can go outdoors once again! Happy New Year! #365Project Day 001 (2011.01.01) @sharkbayte
  • I was shooting something else. Lost in my own world, when I heard rustling of leaves, figured it was a cat or something. But this cutie wanted to see what I was doing. We talked a bit and she returned to where the other five deer were resting. Day 336 (2010.12.02) #365Project @sharkbayte
  • The Chase. I was watching the fawn when this big crow chased him out of the field. #365Project Day 283 (2010.10.10) @sharkbayte
