Linking this post to Sweet Shot Tuesdays. Get ready for storytime, kids. Don’t worry, it’s short.

We had a problem.
A very very serious problem.
Until a few weeks ago, when Mr. Squirrel came along.
What was our problem you ask? It was an acorn problem.
We have these super old, big, tall oak trees and not only do they shed leaves, they leave us a ton of acorns that are quite the pain to clean up.
But since Mr. Squirrel came along, life has never been the same. You see, he eats our acorns.
Mmmm, doesn’t it look tasty?
Nom nom nom, sure is tasty!
You don’t like it when people watch you while you eat, do you?
Nope, sure don’t!
Mr. Squirrel is happy, we are happy, everyone’s happy!!!
THE END.
P.S. I don’t think I ever properly introduced my new Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 lens to you, the lens I used to take all the above photos. Lens meet blog, blog meet lens.
Happy Tuesday!
Hee, hee So cute!
Hey nice shots. The wildlife in my garden are very camera shy and I really struggle to get shots like these.

What adorable photos and such a cute story. My senior mom has several little squirrel friends who help her with her gardening and I know she’d like it as well. I’m afraid, though, that my easy to use digital camera does not have extra lenses, so I’ll have to warn her I’ll not be able to get such great close-ups. 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing them for us to enjoy on this Sweet Shot Tuesday.
Zoom lenses are always fun! Once a squirrel got trapped in our house and ruined at the blinds trying to get out and it was just insanity trying to get him out! At least this squirrel was safely outside 🙂
Cute!!
Excellent story, Sandy! I’ve always loved animals going about their daily business.
Nice to meet you, lens! You do a great job 🙂
And glad to hear Mr. Squirrel has your acorn situation under control!!
Love the pictures shot with your new lens! Looking forward to seeing more of your future pics shot with this lens!
A) Totally envious of your new lens. 🙂
B) Your squirrel friend reminds me of our own little squirrel friend we found clamoring around our attic. Creepy and funny to hear him, and luckily we had a have-a-heart trap to rid our stowaway.
Gosh, I wish our squirrels were as helpful as yours. Ours just invade our house!

Uh, I love your lens!!
How cute is Mr. squirrel! Such a sweet post!
Have a great day!
love the new lens! and thanks for introducing us to mr. squirrel. he’s a cutie!!!
Hahaha…ummmm I hate squirrels. They are the devil around here. They torture my pup! They are evil. But glad this one is there to help ya’ll 😛
Love this, so cute.
First off: That squirrel is SOOOOO cute!!! I love all the different photos and how you really captured the little fellow!!
Second of all: When I talk to my cats, my mum or someone else that is around, always answers for the cat. So I will say: Are you cold? It’s a little cold in here, are you warm enough?” and someone will say something like, “Nope, how about tucking me into the blankets, mom?” 🙂
Your post TOTALLY reminds me of this interaction!!! 🙂
xoxoxo
Adorable! Loving his big fluffy tail! Now that I live in a place no longer over-run by squirels I can appreciate this 🙂

I love when posts make me smile ear to ear. I love that last photo with his back turned! So neat you got to capture him so closely!
aww, this is so cute! I like squirrels! These are great shots and your lens is awesome!
Aah the squirrel is so sweet and the photography is fab!
I want to learn how to use a cool camera like that! And I love Mr. Squirrel! I would make him my pet 🙂
This could so be my back porch. Some days we could have over half a dozen squirrels back there. Even your railing looks like ours. Cute post.
Very cute:) And awesome lens..it takes really great pictures, have fun with it!

Great shots and I’m glad Mr. Squirrel is taking care of the acorns! The images of him on the deck eating an acorn are adorable. I want to get an SLR camera in the worst way.
This was fun. Thanks for sharing. That is one well fed squirrel
OH he’s adorable! Believe it or not when I was a kid I had a pet squirrel that looked just like him (except he was much fatter)…his name was Chubby! Thanks for sharing these awesome pics! 😉
