I was planning on posting images from my home state of Montana today but then I found this one. We have pine forest behind our yard and several red squirrels call it home. Last year about this time, I noticed a squirrel had a very defined route he used as he gathered pine cones and bought them back to his cache. He would run along the fence to a certain spot then jump to a tree. He did this over and over, so I thought I would set up with a telephoto lens and photograph him in mid-air. Well it wasn’t as easy as expected because there was very little time to react to capture the image for me. I set the focus ahead of time as well as the exposure and after quite a bit of effort was able to come away with a few decent shots, including this one.
