Very nice.
There's some good contrast in the first shot and it appears to be offering you a gift !
I do like the low viewpoint you've used in the 2nd and the way the ground falls away behind him really makes it stand out from the backrgound.

Like the BW shot Dave, the Squirrels are so used to people in the park, we went there quite a few times this year, it's a lovely place with great views.
Did you take any other shots in the park?

Also went into the building by the observatory. They have the astrophotography of the year pictures showing.
Also while in there I touched the oldest thing ever

Thank you eileen.
Same 1st picture again, slighter darker with the whites touched down, and tail in the picture. Not sure what one is best.

Thank you. I cropped the tail out as I didn't think all of it needed to be in the picture. Being cropped out allows me to get closer to the squirrel and the main focus then is on the squirrel praying, or whatever it's doing
