i suppose if you see squirrels every day when you're walking about you start to consider them the same as i would pigeons... maybe that's part of the reason i still took a picture of one. i remember stalking one around central park, walking everytime it walked, stopping everytime it stopped. i think the couple in front of me began to feel a little uneasy until they realised i was pointing the camera at the furry creature. i got a couple of ok shots, but when i was further on trying to find strawberry fields i looked down to see one right at my feet. i turned the camera towards it expecting it to scamper off, but instead it stood it's ground and fixed a long, cold stare at me. some animals just like to do that it seems.
