hello, today i decide to present this image
of the Eastern Grey Squirrel, photo shot
at the forest Boisé Papineau,
shooted in RAW format, ISO400

here is somes texts ont the Eastern Grey Squirrel
from Hinterland Who's Who website :

because in my title i mention the
large bushy tail of the sqirrel it is why in
the text i choosed where they talking on his tail

« The most notable physical feature of the
eastern grey squirrel is its large bushy tail.
Indeed, the Latin word for squirrel, sciurus,
is derived from two Greek words, skia,
meaning shadow, and oura, meaning tail.
Combining the two means loosely that the
squirrel is one that sits in the shadow of its own tail.
Many of the common names given to the
eastern grey squirrel, such as Bannertail and
Silvertail, call attention to this prominent feature.

The tail has many important functions. It acts as a
rudder when the animal jumps from high places,
as a warm covering during the winter, as a signal to
other eastern grey squirrels indicating an individual’s
mood, and perhaps as a sunshade. Finally, the tail
can be used to distract a pursuing predator.

If necessary, a squirrel can lose its tail sheath
and some vertebrae, or bones in its back, to escape
a predator’s grasp. It is not uncommon to see
an eastern grey squirrel with only a partial tail. »

Asbed,
I love watching squirrel running around busy collecting food. You captured this one in its winter surrounding. Very refresh. Nice Sharpness and composition. Like playing hide and seek.

Bellissima immagine, ottima composizione ambientata, molto buoni i dettagli e i colori, molto belli i cristalli di neve e la luce sul pelo. Complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Great winter time scene, love the bit of snow on the squirrel as he sits 'hidden' from you... but not from your camera, lol. Nice POV and good DOF. Lovely catch light in the eye.

TFS, Mish

Hi Asbed,

This squirrel looks like a little devil - love the expression on his face. You caught him at the perfect time with his whole face showing and the bushy, bushy tail. I like the snow on his face and tail.

This is what I like about your work Asbed. You look up! You look down. You look around and behind and you see through things until the right time, then you click. Very well done sir!

Bonsoir Asbed, ton titre est vraiment bien choisi pour la photo et, de plus, cette photo est superbe, avec les couleurs bleutées de l'hiver et le bel écureuil en pose pour toi. Les couleurs sont sensationnelles, naturelles et très lumineuses, belle photo et notes intéressantes! Merci,

Francine

Hi Asbed,
A beautiful photo. Your clarity, sharpness, and colors are very well done. He's adorable, and I love the snow on his fur. Again, your gallery is very commendable.

My latest unfortunate attempt at capturing a squirrel shows how nervous I was, and tells me to pull out my tripod... ;-) (it looked better as a thumbnail photo) I'll keep trying.
