The squirrel from hell

A man was feeding this squirrel the other day in the park, and some others were taking photos. I joined in.  From my angle he appeared a bit dark, so I used the flash....with this result. I was going to correct the squirrel's hellish eyes, but then I remembered this post.

Well, I've always thought of squirrels as devious little rascals. Not that hard to substitute demonic for devious!

That is one fabulous photo. I wouldn't stand right under that tree.

Interesting to see tassel-eared squirrels in your part of the world. Haven't seen ours look so devilish.

Ha! A perfect shot!

Didn't take much to turn him from darling to demonic, did it? On another subject altogether, did you celebrate Mother's Day yesterday—or is it on a different day there?

Great shot Pat! ;)

That's wonderful. What a little devil!
