Squirrel in Flight

I watched this squirrel as he used the same path to pick up pine cones and take them back to his cache. While the light wasn’t great, I set up, using a low angle, manually focused on a point just beyond where he jumped, manually set the exposure, and shot a bunch of shots trying to get the squirrel in mid air and in focus. This was the keeper.

Hoping everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving tomorrow!
