Squirrel Stare Down: Photo Of The Day

OAKLAND, CA — A squirrel sizes up the human behind the camera. Are you going to feed me? Are you going to tolerate me or chase me away?

Thank you to Marcella Aguirre-Garcia for this great close-up.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
