Well, it was a gorgeous day in DC and I was happy I remembered to pack a few peanuts with me when going there for the cherry blossom festival. Got to hand feed quite a few squirrels and this one was very brave coming right up even with the camera out. Got a few nice closeups. Mind you, these were from a phone camera so background was a bit washed.

I was flashed by a squirrel once. I was waiting for my friend outside of his barracks, and this squirrel comes and stops, comes and stops, ya know? Stopping every so often to check things out I guess. But as he got closer, I could tell it was a he when he'd stand up, then as he passed me, I got flashed by his balls. :-P I thought it was really funny, if a bit awkward. But besides all that, I thought it was neat to see a squirrel up close. I've always wanted to pet one. They look so floofy cute. ^^
Those squirrels in DC are total hambones
When I was a kid my family took a vacation in DC, this was circa 1968. While we were out walking around my dad saw a squirrel and took out his 8mm movie camera and started shooting. The squirrel immediately run up to him and posed! Best holiday film clip ever!
Thanks for the memory, man

Heh... you know, my predominant memory of visiting DC is the squirrels. When I made my first trip to the US back in 2003, I used Amtrak to give myself a little East Coast tour - New York, Philadelphia ( for Anthrocon ) and DC. And the main thing I recall about DC is the squirrels along The Mall. I remember one big guy scurrying over to a fallen styrofoam cup only a few inches from my foot ( not one I dropped! ).
Took a few photos myself, although none of them came out as good as your one. Interesting how his tail is almost transparent in the sunlight.
