Most of the animals I run into in the woods are very shy and skittish but, every once in a while, I happen across one that actually seems to want its photo taken. This was one of those cases. This squirrel jumped out into the middle of the path I was on and walked with me until we got near this bench. It then hopped up onto the bench and gave me that, "I'm ready for my close-up" look. I probably could have gotten it to pose even longer but a herd of 25 to 30 runners was right behind us on the trail and that sound was even too much for a squirrel that wanted to be in the limelight.
