Animals Unaware – CFFC

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is more difficult for me than most people might think. Cee’s instructions are:

“This week our topic is Animals Unaware you are photographing them. They can be your pets, a friends pet or any wild animal, including birds, marine life, farm or out in the wild. Have fun.”This week our topic is Animals Unaware you are photographing them. They can be your pets, a friends pet or any wild animal, including birds, marine life, farm or out in the wild. Have fun.”

The reason this challenge was hard for me, is that in so many of the pictures I have of animals, they are (or seem to be) aware that I’m there. The gallery starts with a few recent photos taken specifically for this challenge and some that I found in the archive.

This guy came out of that tree, across the roof and then didn’t know how to get down. So he’s going back to the tree.
Smokey is foraging, but he found a peanut
I don’t think she’s aware that I have peanuts.
“You keep feeding the squirrels. I like peanuts.” (and he gets them).
When MiMi isn’t sitting in a window, she likes to sleep.
These are Painted Turtles (the name comes from the colors on their underside).
Two of those crows.

The bunny is our earlier. I love how the setting sun is lighting up his ear.
Bunny bunny.
Chippy, that peanut is bigger than your head.
I think it’s Sundance.
Preston likes his sun spots
Huey, Dewey, and Louie? I know, they were ducks, but…
The ducks are getting out, the heron is heading in. Breakfast time at the river.

  6. Love the bunny at the drain pipe. Is he waiting to take a shower?

    MiMi wrapped up in her tail without a care in the world. Great shot.

    Love the turtles trying to catch some sun rays.

    Sundance and Preston showing off what cats do best…sleep!

    Nice gallery Dan. Happy Monday to a great week ahead.

    • Thanks Ginger. Maybe that bunny was waiting for some water.

      MiMi is almost always unaware. She sees me, it’s going to be a blurry photo.

      When those cats wake up it’s going to be, “Oh, are you here to feed me?” Same with the squirrels. If they see me, I better have a peanut.

      Enjoy one more warm day, Ginger. I hope it’s the start of a great week.

  8. It seems to me that animals always know when we are trying to take a picture of them; I never got a photo of a bird that didn’t seem to be looking at me with attitude. And ducks! They smirk! I enjoyed all these captures, but did you have to use the phrase “found a peanut”?

  10. You did great, Dan! That first photo is so pretty–beautiful lighting on both the leaves and the squirrel. Little Chippy is adorable. That is one heckuva big peanut for such a little guy. I guess he would beg to differ, though.

    • Chippy will take two of those back to his hole for the winter, Lois. They are amazing. The squirrel on the roof was frustrated. He knew there were peanuts, but didn’t know the trick (roof over door -> roof of small shed -> trash can -> ground) to get down. Someone threw a peanut up to him.
