The Different Perspectives of a Surprised Exuberant Squirrel

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.

Blue Squares: Staring Into the Beautiful Blue Sky

My contribution to Becky’s #Blue Squares Challenge.

I not only fell in love with the contrast of the green building and the beautiful blue sky, but I was captivated by the pattern of the wispy white clouds as well. We’ve had an unusually long and wet winter and spring, with mostly gloomy skies. This was one of the first beautifully clear days.
