Description

I combined two images to show the local neighborhood squirrel jumping from a rooftop to a nearby tree. Thanks very much for your recent views, comments, and faves!

Great blending in this image of the squirrel, leaping for its very life onto the puny branch, Maria. Of course, you are aware of real flying squirrels, with their winglike appendages, which can soar for vast distances.

They are quite acrobatic, and very sure of themselves! I have several in my back yard that do this all the time, from one tree to another, from fence to tree and tree to fence... I've never seen one miss, but my mum says she saw one last year. It got up and shook itself off and continued on its way, apparently. Great work here!

Nice work... And photo... Never seen before a 'flying' squirrel. In my location the squirrels become rare. They have been always timid animals, but now the tween redfurred 'oakcats' seems to be vanished...

Excellent capture, love the clarity, I have pictures of a squirrel hanging from the very end of a tree branch upside down by his hind legs in order to get the tree's nuts, lol. However, could not capture the clear clarity like you have here. Squirrels are such awesome creatures to watch and observe and they are true dare devils in their nature, lol...:)))
