Caught this creature running around the yard; I think he actually likes his picture to be taken

Obviously so, why else would such a beautiful animal be posing so nicely for the camera?

Yes. 

And a beautiful position in the first one, with the tail  stretched

Food?

I like them all but my favorite is the 3rd one. The expression is great and the colors of the squirrel and out of focus foliage complement each other.

For those who are trying to feed birds I believe it's better for the birds to plant bird friendly plants than use bird feeders. I've noticed finches eating the tiny seeds from English lavender here is Southern California. I've heard that diseases may be transmitted from bird to bird at bird feeders. I'm not expert on this.
