@m_hundhausen @szescstopni Suggested #AltText:
A red squirrel in mid-leap,
front paws outstretched superhero fashion, rear legs & fluffed-out tail streaming behind like stabilizing banners, head & ears erect. Two thick tree trunks, the squirrel’s apparent goal, fill the left of the frame. In the background, an angular jumble of leafless branches stand out against a clear blue sky.
*in English, my German being insufficient to the task
@gorfram @m_hundhausen My bad :) I usually don't boost toots without alttext, and I make sure my pictures, even in replies, are described. Good work.
@szescstopni @m_hundhausen Thanks. I’m always nervous about writing alt text for images in posts written in a language I only sort of kind of barely understand.
@gorfram @m_hundhausen Mein deutsch ist auch sehr schwach :) This is a beautiful picture, it didn't need any caption (but it definitely needed a description)
@m_hundhausen @gorfram After years on Twitter and only five months here I'm amazed how kind and supportive all of you here are. Such pictures of leaping squirrels really help.
@szescstopni It's almost weird how quickly I lost the reflex of trying to think through every possible way my post could be attacked before hitting send.

That photo was a lucky shot, but the camera helped to get that one. Thank you for writing that description.
