While I believe Becky has in mind using different apertures, focusing, and distance to show how one can achieve different perspectives in photography, I thought I would approach it from a lighter perspective for my first square of this month’s challenge. This friendly, exuberant, (and surprised) urban squirrel was observing me from four different perspectives!*
#1 Uh oh! Caught in the act!
#2 I’m really not so sure about this…..
#3 Maybe it’s safe…….. I’ll try it out.
#4 Oh, you seem to be friendly, and your dog does too, so…. TA-DA. Here I am in all my exuberance, complete with tail!
*I don’t normally do this, and I think it’s technically against the rules, but I got carried away and combined….. four challenges. My own exuberance got the better of me.

Becky’s Squares – The Art of Perspective
oh these are fabulous, and just what I was hoping for from Squares this month – brilliant photographs and great stories. This is also my second squirrel of the morning, love how squirrels are making sure we see the world from their perspective
Many thanks Becky π
Cute catches, Hannah. Squirrels are such great subjects, inquisitive and charming…as long as they don’t get in your attic. :-).
Well they are probably better than roof rats, which is what we had. At the very least squirrels are cuter π
These images are perfect for perspective squares. You captured the life of a squirrel in just a few moments. π
Thank you so much Lisa! Itβs rare that I can successfully capture successive shots of a moving object while walking the dog. So I am especially pleased. π
I understand that. It is hard to bird when I have Heaven on a leash. π
Thank you, Lisa.
Love your surprised exuberant squirrel, Hannah!! π
Thank you Sarah. These comments all slipped past me. So good to see you!!!!
No worries – happens to me all the time! ππ
Squirrels are so very cute. I always imagined them to be so much bigger, so I was surprised how small and agile they were when I saw them in Finland. Great choice for the challenge.
Thank you! You don’t have them where you are?
No squirrels in Australia – we do have sugar gliders or a few marsupial possums, that are aboreal and about the nearest we might come to a squirrel.
Ha ha. They know how to cling to a tree! Well done.
Thanks John.
