What a lovely photo! Well captured and a clear message. Love it. 

I am beginning to think we should bin all these big expensive cameras and just use the phones.
No processing done on my hedgehog shot...straight off phone and it's sharp as a tack. Of course the dof is lacking because of the small fstop the phone used at close proximity....but still ok.

Thanks Eric, I did a tiny amount of sharpening but otherwise as shot. I am surprised at the DOF!

Some of my very best photos were taken on a box brownie and a Kodak 44a - very simple cameras where the only control was cloudy / sunny :lol:

The smaller the sensor- the greater the dof at any given fstop.  It was the same with film  ....big film - shallower dof. I often worked at f16 with medium format to get the same results as f8 on the Nikon slr (actually I was using Canon back then :sssshh:)

My wife has always preferred taking shots of plants (ie pseudo macro) with Compact cameras (now phones) because of their smaller sensors.

We've had 3 young squirrels exploring the garden. They are crazy 😜. As Chris' video showed, they charge around trees, bushes and lawn.

Didn't get a video but here are a few images of their antics...

Finally....one of the little so and sos's wanted to get at the feeders. I have put plant saucers on the top of the feeders to restrict their access down from the top.  This chap sat for a while sizing up the problem.....

Realising he couldn't get down from the top, he decided the only option was to jump....

Of course he didn't know a slippery tube was his landing point. Undaunted.......

He soon discovered there was no grip and slithered and flailed about for a second...

...before falling into the bush below. I didn't get that photo as I was laughing too much.

He was undaunted. But he waited till I was uploading the days photos before having another go. He fell in the bush again.

Will he have another go???

I think it's easer with two as they exercise themselves by playing when out. Here's mine after a wash and blow dry.

Now the kits are off her hands mum has been trying to rebuild her figure. She has damaged her right paw, only using it when absolutely necessary.

I think it's just the outer claws, as the middle one seems ok. Or she may be getting tired of being photographed and is telling me something? :lol:
