[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Eastern Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is a tree squirrel that is native to the eastern to midwestern United States and the eastern provinces of Canada. The species name carolinensis refers to the Carolinas, where they were first recorded by zoologists, and are still extremely common.
The Eastern Grey has also been introduced into a variety of locations on the west coast of North America, including San Francisco and the Peninsula area of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties south of the city. At the turn of the 20th century it was introduced into South Africa and England, spreading across the latter and then invading both Wales and parts of southern Scotland where it has almost exclusively displaced the population of the native Red Squirrel. It has also been introduced to Italy, and the European Union is concerned that the grey squirrel will displace the Red Squirrel from parts of the European continent, as well.
The Eastern Grey Squirrel is common throughout most of its natural range and wherever it has been introduced. It readily becomes tolerant of humans and learns to take food left or offered by picnickers.(wikipedia.com)

Hello Mircea !
Wow, I had never seen an albino squirrel ! Really amazing, and so beautiful ! The blue eyes are fantastic. Excellent details, nice natural colors, beautiful composition and POV, and the pose of the squirrel is wonderful too - holding on to his meal, with itsbeautiful tail curled around him. Very well done !

Hello Mircea well spotted looks rare, a fine sharp shot well exposed. Good composition also. The eye detail confirm's it's albino. tfs rgds Necip

Hi Mircea,
Looks very "white" ...almost like a "white" lion.
A beautiful image; great depth of field and point of view.
Well done

Hallo Mircea
A very beautiful capture of this albino squirrel. The white fur actually makes this squirrel cuddly looking. A lovely close up filled with a variety of features and details. I just love the white beige circle around the big dark almost blue coloured eye, the small ears standing up straight with fluffy hairs at the edges. The long whiskers, cute little fingers and paws, and the most spectacular the thick and hairy tail. A very special photo. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna

Salut Mircea

De mult nu am prea avut time lejer pentru TN, dar acum imi face deosebita placere sa ma mai uit printre pozele tale superbe.
Cea de fata este intr-adevar mai mult decat o simpla imagine, desigur datorita subiectului inedit si extrem de rar...un "thanks for sharing" special pentru asta!
Pe langa acest fapt, trebuie desigur apreciata claritatea impecabila a detaliilor si redarea exacta a tuturor culorilor (fapt care scoate parca si mai bine in evidenta ochiul caracteristic pentru specimenele albinoase).
Foarte foarte misto!

Bravo si TFS
Horia

prima data cand l-am vazut pe micutul asta in thumbnail am crezut ca e o specie de veverita pe care nu am vazut-o niciodata. dupa aceea am vazut "albino"
