Hi Destiny. I took photography in college, but with digital it's a whole new world so thanks.
To S.W. : That squirrel was not only pretty far away, but up a tree. I discovered my camera has a 16X zoom on it. You zoom it all the way to 8, let go, and zoom it again to 16. I bet a lot of canon digital users don't know their camera can do it.
If you look at this photo, you'll get a better idea of how far away I really was:
