Pictures of Squirrels; Stalking Wildlife on Campus

I brought my camera with me in my backpack today, and I found the opportunity to make use of it while I was walking to work this morning. I caught sight of no less than three squirrels on my way, and so I took a bunch of pictures. Which, of course, being the dork that I am, I am now posting here.

Here's squirrel #1:



Most of the other ones I took were blurry, but when I first spotted this guy, he was less than a foot away from me.

Pictures from Squirrel #2 were much better:

Attentive squirrel is attentive!

I think he was thirsty and drinking out of a puddle.

He looks so sweet... almost like a cuddly toy.

And I only got two pictures of Squirrel #3, but they turned out very well:

3 was more skittish than the others, so I caught him in a 'deer in the headlights' pose.

Managed to snag him again once he scurried away up the tree though :3.

Squirrels may be pesky rodentia, but they are definitely adorable. And I'm the kind of person who can be walking along and, midsentence, stop and yell "Squirrel!!" the second I see a small fluffy dude scurrying by.
I even do this in cars.

Yeah... a dork am I.

That's about all for cutesy wildlife photos today; next post will have fewer fuzzy dudes in it, I promise.
