Description
Walking through Lincoln Marsh in Wheaton, Illinois one beautiful fall afternoon, I came across this squirrel sitting in a tree. He stopped what he was doing as I approached, and I enjoyed the opportunity to take his picture.

A terrific closeup , Joni! Great details ... the rough & rugged textures of the bark & ridged details of the acorn are really noticeable; & looks like he's noticed you too :))
Joni Eskridge replied:
Yes, I loved all these different textures and the color palette of the fall marsh. He did take notice - and I had my old coonhound with me. I was hoping I'd get to get off a couple of reasonably focused shots before he got spooked and ran off!

Wonderful capture....nice to catch him with a nut in his mouth!

Thanks so much, Phyllis! It helps to have a long lens and a subject intent on his treasure!
