Palm squirrel at Jodhpur

Palm squirrel, Jodhpur
The history of the great fort at Jodhpur is one of war, violence, and political machinations (among other things). Yet the fort's occupants are not just human; what small battles are fought among its other inhabitants have almost no power beyond their immediate vicinity.

Beautiful creature, with such a gleam in it's eye.

Yes, can you enlarge the eye sufficiently to see yourself?

Zhoen, RR — there's an intensity about these little squirrels that seems to condense in their eyes. I don't recall ever failing to be charmed by them. (RR, I was in the shadow, photographing, so no, although I'm in there somewhere, I'm indiscernible — as I should be.)

Wow, amazingly crisp! For such a simple subject, it's wonderfully composed.
