Whilst sitting on the swing in our backyard, we were so delighted when one of our dear little squirrels took time to drink from the pond before scampering up into the trees. We've named this little fellow Charlie! He seems fearless and loves the peanuts we put out for him.

Fills My Eyes
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. -- E. M. Forster
Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.

About Me
I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

Awe, what a cutie! And what a wonderful shot! You caught the squirrel AND a reflection! Love it, sissie!!!
So cute! Incredible how you caught the eye!
Charlie has some relatives in my yard -- I can definitely see the resemblance! I'm happy to know I'm not alone in finding enjoyment through squirrel watching! Happy May Day! ♪♫
How incredible that you had the camera right there to take the shot -- and the steadiness to get a decent shot. i love it when luck and skill come together like this. Wonderful photo.
I hope everybody biggies this!
Oh, what a great shot! And what a cutie Charlie is! Marvelous that you were able to get so close, but then I guess he's willing to for peanuts!!
Have a great weekend, Beth!

WE loved squirrels, they are so adorable as your picture, wonderful shot!

charlie's whiskies eflection in the water are clear, he's so cute and you caught the right time too.
How nice that the cute little Charlie comes so close. This is an amazing shot, lucky you.
he is a cute little guy! love the light in his eye.
I do not like the squirrels in my backyard. I'd be happy to send you some new "friends" if you'd like!
This shot almost makes him look cute though. :)
He's so cute! He has a wonderful spot to live in for sure.
Very cute! He seems to be looking right at the camera. It seemed like today was squirrel day in my neighborhood . I counted twelve of them in less than three minutes when I left this morning. They are everywhere.
Such a great capture. Charlie is a cutie.
How cute is that. I love this. Excellent my friend :) Have a great weekend :)
This is really charming!! I love your reflection here..how precious! Those look like ferns right next?
Have a wonderful week,
Regina-
Great capture! Squirrels do not seem to have much fear. The ones around here eating acorns and just dare the cats to get close. Your clound paintings are beautiful!
Really nice capture!
The squirrel, Charlie, is a neat pic.
The leaf in the rock must be worth a great deal.
Charlie is very cute! I think squirrels are amusing critters.
A cutie for sure! I love to watch them scamper around my yard too -- except when they get in the bird feeders! LOL!
cute squirrel!
Charlie is adorable! How awesome to see a reflection in a squirrel's eye.
So cute!! Like him and the reflection.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful moment.
Allow me as well to express my deep impression of your photography. Please have a wonderful start into the new week.

Nice environmental portrait of Charlie. My wife named one the the squirrels she used to feed "Stubby" because he lost most of his tail. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my photos.
He is cute! I would never be able to name all the squirrels in my yard because there are too many. They can be a little pesky at times, especially when they climb up my backdoor screen and then do their business. Not fun to clean up after them!
Charlie is so cute! What a nice little "neighbor" to have...
What a cute furry swine!
