Remember, for every squirrel photo you see, I've taken many, many shots of tails, blurs, empty lawn and out-of-focus weirdness. So yeah, being a squirrel photographer is a tough job, but I knew that when I signed up for it. Actually, it's not really a job and I didn't sign up for anything, but you get the idea of what I'm dealing with here.
