i was foraging...

...for food

then i interrupted him - with my black box - wanting a shot - of that mug - who wouldn't? - i mean, really - lookit him, will you? - so adorable - even though in my squirrel stalking - admittedly i had to scamper - after him past 2 trees - across a trail - another tree - finally stopping at the base - of yet another tree - whew! - he made me work - for it, he did - i think it was worth it -  his face with some - food residue still on it -  making me giggle 

i do wonder sometimes what - the other side thinks - you know, nature - when they see us - as photographers coming at them - with our various equipment - strapped over our necks - or shoulders pointed here - or there as we - do our thing - either silently - or perhaps chatting at them  - i can only hope - it's not a terrifying experience - somehow ends up making for...

a

happy day.....
