A Picnic Guest

We spent the last few days of our road trip around Slovenia in its pretty little capital Ljubljana. Our first day there we took a picnic lunch with us and headed into Tivoli Park which is just a short walk from the center.

It's funny how you become aware of the presence of another living creature without actually seeing it. At some point I became aware of something sitting beside me, I looked down and there was this little squirrel. I said "hello there" very quietly at which point it jumped onto the picnic bench and proceeded to explore my camera bag looking for food.

My wife loves wildlife so she was beside herself and started to feed it apple and nuts. It came so close to me I had to lean back to keep it in focus.

We went back the next day hoping to see her again but she didn't show up, probably sleeping off a food coma 😄
