Squirrels Instead of Surfers...

[Steve Parr]

I head out this morning hoping to get some shots of surfers at San Onofre State Beach. The surf wasn't the "epic" surf I'd heard about, but I guess it was still higher than average.

I learned something today: I do not have a long enough lens to shoot surfers. I even resorted to trying the 70-300mm QCL, with a 1.4X, and it didn't seem to be enough.

So, I drove down I-5 until I came to a "view point". I stopped, and these little guys were everywhere:

This one obviously had a hankerin' for Pepperidge Farm:

Thanks. In #4, I wish he'd have been chowin' down on some nut or berry or something natural instead of a Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.

I'd never seen so many squirrels in one place at one time...
