Initially, I was rather disappointed with this shot. I'd meant to get a good clear photo of this bold thief, a Variegated Squirrel that lives on the grounds of Rancho Naturalista. Unfortunately, it spotted an incoming Montezuma Oropendola and bailed just as I snapped the shutter. Arg! But the longer I looked at the picture, the more I liked the sense of motion and urgency it conveyed -- the blur of the squirrel's quickly moving legs, the spin of its body and the near motionless balance of its tail. Not perfect, but a fun reminder of our stay.
