I am already looking forward to my first visit at the ground squirrels this year. Not only because of the cute ground squirrels but also because of the great food that I usually find there at the restaurants. But the cuteness of the ground squirrels is so high that I really love to visit them at least once every year.
Because you can only take pictures of these nice animals in warm weather, it is also a very nice trip and nice to do something outside for relaxing. Yes photography in the nature is a nice compensation for a stressful day at the office. And if it is a nice day you nearly have the garantee to take some pictures of these ground sqirrels because they are pretty social and if you have enough time it is rather easy to get some nice results.
