First time I have seen what appears to be a squirrel here in Alberta that is not either black or black and grey... Spotted this little curious guy in a tree not 8 feet away...
All shots taken on Canon 1D MklV, Canon ef70-200mm f2.8L IS Mkll @ 200mm, f2.8 at 1/200th sec.
Any comment or critique...
Kind regards

In photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little human detail can become a leitmotiv.

Thank you Jocko.. The reddish aspects only became noticeable on screen... just looked like the usual grey when I saw it. I am no expert either so the colouration was a surprise.
Kind regards

Some first class captures there Rolf. As usual Ed has performed his brand of magic and improved that which I thought to be perfect!!
As to the subject matter. I have what seems to be, an extended family of squirrels living in a couple of trees at the bottom of my garden. That's right, 'not fairies', 'squirrels'. Many of these seem to be 'mixed race' as some have all red bodies and some have grey, others have grey bodies with red tails and others red bodies and grey tails. So, as Jane has suggested, these squirrels seem to have been having a wonderful time making whoopee with all and sundry. 'Lucky little sods'!!
Best regards.
