I love the Disney movie UP. I love how the mean dogs all stop and look whenever someone says Squirrel. I had my own squirrel moment today. I left the baseball games early to come back to the office to recover a corrupted CF card for the Bison. I pulled into a parking spot right beside this small tree with the squirrel. I walked around to the passenger side of my car and got my camera and started toward the building and I saw it not 8 ft from me. I think the squirrel's "Person" alert went off about the same time my "Squirrel" alert went off. A beautiful Fox Squirrel in a small tree just a few feet from me and a camera with my longest zoom lens mounted and beautiful light. Some days you just get lucky.
Photo Educational Note: For those of you in my class let me break it down a little more. Limited depth of field was achieved by a combination of three things:
-lens aperture wide open at F5.6,
-long focal length of 400mm, and
-a close distance of about 8 ft.
These very three items were mentioned today while discussing depth-of-field during our review for the test coming up on Thursday.

Nice squirrel blog post. I'm not in your class, but I'll take bonus points any time.
We can't help saying, "Squirrel!" whenever we see one. Which is just about every day. It's also funny to say when our son says something completely off the subject of whatever we were talking about. Which also happens just about every day.
If I wrote "Nice Squirrel" 50 times on the test, would you give me 100%!
No Mike that would not get you 100 points.
