Title: Persistent Squirrel
Post by: Bruce on August 03, 2011, 02:51:18 PM
I am a brand-new member.  Yesterday morning, I decided that I wouldn't be able to put together a photo essay for the contest, even with the additional week.  then, as we were watching the birds in our garden, a squirrel began playing.  I ran up and gabbed my camera.  Here is the essay from the squirrel's point of view"

Maybe if I go after this from the bottom, I can get to the seed:

Well, maybe from the back:

I wonder -  is there any help out there for me?

Well, that didn't work either.  Maybe there is help out on the street.

There's a feeder at the top of this pole.  a little tricky to get to, but I wonder....

This is challenging. Nothing like trying to climb a small steel pipe.  I sure hope this is worth it!

Need to stretch a bit here ....Wow!  There's no stopping me now!

Welcome, Bruce!  I love your photo essay - such a great job of capturing the antics of your friendly neighborhood squirrel through your images and the "squirrel's words!"

I love that last image, and the lead-in and "squirrel thoughts" definitely add to the enjoyment.  Nicely done!
