When you're minding your own business taking closeup photos of flowers and insects with your macro lens in your friend's garden and you and the unseen/unaware squirrel in the undergrowth right next to you scare the crap out of each other.
Oh! Squirrel! Three meters from me! Click click click, no time to jumble with the exposure comp dial, I'm shooting RAW anyway (on the left), surely I can fix this in post (on the right), click click click!
Well, it sort of worked out okay, but I sure wish the squirrel had stuck around long enough for me to set things up properly.
#TIL#Squirrels have taken to laying on top of the picket fence in position similar to squirrel in picture. Never knew there was a name for this!
The #Texas Parks and Wildlife Department shared a video of a gray #squirrel laying flat on its belly with its arms and legs spread out – a weird phenomenon called #splooting. It's how they cope with the excessive heat.
