It’s been one of those days where I just wasn’t satisfied with any of my photos. On bad photo mojo days you are likely to see a cat in this space. Pets are my go-to subject when nothing else is working, or I’m pressed for time. This is Griffin. She’s been here before and will likely show up again.
Actually I think the small one is her offspring. The squirrels normally do not share feeder space with each other, but the adult female lets the little one eat with her – for now. I shot this through the window because the baby squirrel is skittish and will take off if I go out into the yard..
Bones’ primary goal is to catch a squirrel. He finds all sorts of hiding places in close proximity to squirrel traffic and waits very patiently, but his murderous plans are continuously ruined by my interference. I’m no fun at all.
Yesterday I spent the afternoon dealing with office paperwork and preparing my taxes. I couldn’t spend a lot of time on photography, so I just snapped a photo of what was on my desk at the moment.
I saw quite a lot of deer during my evening walk, so I thought if I could manage to get a nice closeup shot, I’d use it for my photo of the day. This mother deer grooming her offspring elicited a number of “aww’s” from my group, so here you go.
