Recently, I just bought a used Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens from a fellow photographer, and it is sweet (and extra heavy, I think I may have to start lifting weights to actually use my camera now, haha). Anyways, last Wednesday I finally got meet a fellow friend and photographer, Anna, for a bit of a collaborative photo shoot. We went to Harris Park (since we couldn't shoot inside on-location), it was pretty overcast out, which was alright, I guess. I didn't get too many shots I really liked (hence why none are shown here), but we came across this cute little baby squirrel on a tree. It looked pretty tame, so I walked up to the tree, started to pet his tail, then his body, then I was able to snatch him off the tree. I considered the 'getting bitten factor', but having raised over twenty of these little guys, I thought I could take my chance. Anyways, he was a little antsy and nervous in my hands, but other than that, he never bit me, peed on me, or pooped on me (that's better than some critters I've had!) When I tried to put him back on the tree, he apparently didn't want to leave, so we walked around with him more, took some snaps of him on our model for fun, and finally got him back in a tree. This was him looking down at me almost seeing me off and maybe even wishing me well. I made a friend today.
