The Birds 5.2.14: Garden Squirrel

He was not prepared for me to stick around after his initial "plea" for nuts. So he ran in a little circle and stopped in front of me. He was doing his own little version of "stop and pose". As you will see in future photos on this day, he is in no mood to waste energy on entertaining me. "No nuts, no entertainment". And besides, it's all about balance with these little creatures. After so much expenditure in one sitting, he has pulled back a bit this time, in order to "balance things out". Very clever little creature. Interestingly enough, I wasn't ready to focus on him that day either. It was all about the birds. What I ended up with was plenty enough, and each image carried much weight. © Maria Dorothea Campbell 2014
