Leave my lawn alone!
just for the fun of it I decided to shoot this little guy who takes great pleasure is digging up my lawn to either dig up or bury his nuts.

Shot through my patio doors so I didn't scare him away.

Hi Elizabeth I like it, you did well with a x2 and a patio door. Perhaps too much OOF grass in the shot, cropping off a chunk from the bottom would help concentrate attention on the squirrel. Entertaining mischiefs. :smile:

Nice head on and like the way the tail stops the comp looking too central. Agree a bit off the grass might improve it, alternatively I wonder whether more green to make it half the frame would make quite a bold composition with the squirrel in the top half? :smile:
