Sugar-dusted squirrel


GRAY SQUIRREL, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 7, 2010

Pentax K20D
SMC Pentax-F* 300mm f4.5 ED (IF)
1/45 sec. f6.7
ISO 1600

This specimen, I think, is the same one that always shows up to scarf the birdseed seconds after I get back into the house from the back yard, even in the middle of a snowstorm. The light, fluffy flakes made him look almost as if he had emerged from a pastry chef's oven.
