Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Ohhhh dear... FANTASTIC. This is real cool shot, its hard to shoot this little fellow, as its always in action. You did an EXCELLENT job here. Have you ever thought of applying to NG (National Geographic)?? ;-) Am sure they need eyes like yours buddy. ;-)

@Rahul: Oh thank you Rahul :)
if only I was good enough for NG, it would be fantastic, but I still have lots to learn :)

Rob from United States

Something so common but yet still very interesting... I wonder what it is about these little guys that captures our hearts and minds.

BTW Mary, Mille likes squirrels too... she thinks they taste just like chicken ;-)
