2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

American Red Squirrel, Lively, Ontario, Canada
You are what you eat...mmm nuts!

Species: American Red Squirrel | Location: Lively, Ontario, Canada

A particularly cold day in Northern Ontario lead me to feel that all wildlife stuck outside deserved some extra easy fatty meals today, this little squirrel decided to take full advantage of my kindness, but did repay me in kind by allowing me to take this shot of him, nut in mouth!

About The Photographer

Cropped tess1   may want more
Still in the early stages of navigating this big old world of photography and there is a lot to learn. Love capturing the candid moments of our planets finest, and spending time with each subject trying to get the right shot. Although it can be patience testing at times, it is all worth it for that moment of connection.
