Jif Skippy and Nutella

“Peanut” was, at of the time of this image, still too small to venture from the tree.

Thanks for the invite Nic! I hope this can be considered Urban – it was taken in cottage country.

Jif Skippy and Nutella belongs to the following groups:

Bubblettes, Canada, Squirrels and Urban Wildlife

Leslie Battjes

Nope, Dennis, you’ve only got that partly right…this is great! It’s adorable, not seen often, and well shot…your clarity here is awesome, Jan! :) although I totally agree on the names…LOL!
Jan Piller in reply to Leslie Battjes’s comment

Thanks Les – I would have liked to have gotten all four of them but the smallest one wasn’t quite venturing into the open before we had to leave to come home. But it was great watching them grow over the course of two weeks. Jif was the strongest and most curious and was out long before the others.
Nikki Trexel

Steve Rowsell

Well we figured if there was a 5th one, we’ld have to name him Kraft – we were running out of names.

So cute and quick , i’m guessing
Lenny La Rue, IPA

This is the best squirrel shot I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing! There are just too many variations within a single species to tell what these guys are but they are just dropdead cute! The newborns around here I call ‘jets’ because of their incredible speed and playfulness.

OK details! Camera type, len(es), distance from the critters, settings, etc. If I get this shot I sure don’t want to miss it!!!!
Jan Piller in reply to Lenny La Rue, IPA’s comment

hehehe – thanks Lenny – I shoot with a Rebel xt – digital Canon zoom 200 mm. Yah – they’re quick little things! These are red squirrels.
jerry alcantara

wonderful shot..i love this one
Patricia L. Ba...

You do amazing squirrels, too.
Jan Piller in reply to Patricia L. Ballard’s comment

Thank you Pat!
Jessie Leavitt

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha this one is even better!!!!=] wow.. howd you get so close??? they your pets?
Jan Piller in reply to Jessie Leavitt’s comment

Nope they’re wild – had to sit real still for a long time before all three would come out. One of them was pretty brave though and pretty curious about my camera clicking away! There was 4 babies all together but I couldn’t get a shot of the 4th one. Too small to come out I guess – his name was “Peanut”.
Jan Piller in reply to Jessie Leavitt’s comment

There’s another red squirrel on page 2 of my folio – holding a flower.
Jessie Leavitt

thats so funny… did you name them???
Jan Piller in reply to Jessie Leavitt’s comment

A friend of mine gave them all their names – he’s kinda hooked on Peanut Butter.
Jessie Leavitt

I’ll check that out 2=]
Jessie Leavitt

hahhahahaha thats really funny
John Hooton

This is a cracker – did you ask them to smile or did they just do it spontaneously? They could be auditioning for Disney. :-))
Jan Piller in reply to John Hooton’s comment

hahaha – yah – three little hams. There was 4 of them in the nest but I never did get a shot of the 4 of them together – the last one was still too timid to come out.
Renee Dawson

This is the most ADORABLE picture Jan. An instant fav for me. I would have been so excited to capture an image like this!
Jan Piller in reply to Renee Dawson’s comment

Thanks Renee – I got quite a few – they were in and out of that hole for hours!

Nic Relton

PERFECT!
Jan Piller in reply to Nic Relton’s comment

Thanks Nic! But “perfect” would have been to have all 4 babies in the shot!
Nic Relton

Ha… ok! almost perfect then! You have some great stuff, don’t want to seem pushy but if it fits the bill would you consider joining urban Wildlife ?

Jan, this is so cute. Congratulations…you got my vote! Yeah!
Jan Piller in reply to Debbie Stobbart’s comment

Thanks Debbie! There was 4 of those babies. I never could get a shot with the 4 of them together. Did you get the frost this morning? I couldn’t believe it when I got up this morning.
TingyWende

Congrats on the win! This was a great contest with awesome pictures all around.
Jan Piller in reply to TingyWende’s comment

Thanks – no kidding! they were beautiful shots! I’m really honoured!
Debbie Stobbart

Hi Jan, no frost here yet. You must have been lucky…. :o
I think three in the shot is actually better than 4..more balanced, odd numbers work better. So cool that you were able to witness all 4 however. this is such a great shot!
Darlene Marrya...

Awwwww, this melts my heart!!! It almost looks like they posed for you. What a fabulous capture and congrats on coming in 1st in the challenge!!!
