F is for Fast Squirrel

It's about time to participate in Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday again. I missed the letters from A to E, so for me the alphabet starts with F now -- quite creative, isn't it?

Last week I watched some really fast squirrels on Munich's Waldfriedhof (Woodland Cemetery). It's challenging to take a photo of them. In fact, most photos end up looking like this one:


What did I say? Fast quirrel indeed -- I bet it's called Speedy. With some patience I managed to get a decent shot after all.


Isn't Speedy just cute?

  1. F is for Flash!

    It was windy here yesterday and I was trying to snap pictures of leaves flying in the air. Most of them are just a blur.

    Have a great day! La

  6. Yes, Speedy is cute! Great shot of that fast critter. So glad you made it for the Letter F. I bet you can make up ABCD&E with the Letter M for Missed. Just a thought! Thanks for visiting my Letter F for Friendship...good to hear that you have Fond memories of Texas...come back anytime!

  7. You certainly do have a fast squirrel. You should try photographing some of mine. They are fat and slow and sit around munching on my dog food all winter long!

    He looks like the Roadrunner in the old cartoon with his feet flying.

  14. They can be so fast....until they're crossing the street in front of your car and pause halfway to consider their alternatives.

  16. I always used to love squirrels. Right up until the time one chewed through my roof and left a big hole that ruined my kitchen ceiling.

    Even worse, they are not covered under homeowners insurance because they are vermin.

    Cute vermin, but vermin nonetheless.

    PS. I still think they're cute out in nature. Just not in my trees!

  24. Speedy is adorable!

    And so was this post.

    What a clever use of the letter F for Alphabe-Thursday!

    Most of my pictures look all blurry like that...speedy or not!

    Thanks for the smile.

    A+
