Squirrel at the Cementery

Cementeries are a great place to take pictures of birds and Squirrels since the animals there are used to humans and so it is a lot easier to take some nice pictures of them as you can get pretty close without them fleeing. Bringing some nuts also helps to get them where you want them to be. If there is a nice background i want to use with my pictures I often position the nuts where I can get some nice pictures. I know it is not the best to feed wild animals but the animals there are already so much used to it since there are people that bring some nuts and other food for them.

Today I also wanted to visit the Cemetery for some photography but then Stefan called and asked if I want to visit a place near the danube in Linz for some bird photography and I agreed. Although I wasn't able to get some decent pictures today I was out in the fresh air and enjoyed the sun that was already warm and when there was no wind it was actually a bit hot with the warm coeat, but as soon as you feel a little bit of wind on your body it is still freezing cold. I hope spring and summer will be here soon, since 5 degrees celsius that we have today is not really warm.

I really like their color when it is already beginning to change to brown/red. Picture: Florian Glechner.
