A Squirrel on the Post, by Thomas Vasas

The real story behind this photo, is that this Squirrel was the kind that would not sit still and would not like to be photographed. This was the type that was on ADHD, but after waiting several minutes, and several possible shots, he did a final stop on a resting post to get a perfect shot. Boy, you talk about hard to shoot animals, this was one of them. I was so determined to get this guy in photographs, and it actually happened. The photo was taken at Cooper Creek Park, located in my hometown of Columbus, Georgia.
