He Waited

When you happen upon a little guy like this it is truly a photographer's dream. His brothers and sisters were all running around the camp I was visiting. Of course I was chasing them and trying to sneak up on them for that"GREAT SHOT" but to no avail. I finally gave up and walked around to the front of the camp and sitting in a flower pot was this cute little guy. Just like you see in the picture. He waited for me to get my shot and ran off. I was very thankful. I was smart enough to have a telephoto lens on so I didn't have to get too close. Shooting wildlife can be tricky. Especially birds. My first 1000 images or so were all birds and wildlife. If you want to get to know your camera start out that way. I learned so much on the fly so to speak just sitting by a rock out in the woods waiting. I had to keep resetting the aperture with the changing light and different angles. This little red squirrel made it easy for me. He waited!
