This time of year when the sun is shining, the temperature is in the high 70s and low 80s with no humidity, and the wildlife are doing what wildlife often do this time of year, I like to go over to Lake Murray about a mile from me and feed the ground squirrels, of which there are a few billion:

After finding where the greatest concentration of ground squirrels were, I set out to feed as many as possible:

The squirrels thought I was the greatest person on Earth…..

A little six-year-old boy with his mom came by and immediately this squirrel thought that little boy was the greatest person on Earth:

    Wonderful photos. How exciting to see these little critters up close (or did you have a telephoto zoom in). I love these intimate photos of little creatures going about their daily life.

      My daily walkaround lens is a 55-250mm Canon lens, and that’s what I used for these pictures. These squirrels are so friendly, though, that they will come right up to you, closer than my 55-250 will focus. All of these were probably about seven or eight feet from me.
