Nutcrackers

Apparently, Bostonian squirrels aren’t very shy. They’ll readily hold a pose as soon as they see a camera. Either that, or they’re preparing to engage their defence (or worse yet, offence) mechanism. I didn’t stick around long enough to find out (or did I?), I guess. In any case, this was the first time I’d wandered around with a camera – with serious shooting intentions, that is. I’m not satisfied with how most of the pictures turned out, either, but it’s not like you have anything better to do right now (“haha”).

Anyway, the moral of the story for me: if this is the first time you’ve ever “stepped out shooting”, pick subjects that will stay in one place, that will let you get up close, and MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL — that will not mistake you for a tree and run up your legs!
