Don't Be Shy, Sweetie


Photo: Melissa Brandts

Hubby sent this to me. He loves this picture. We watch squirrels in the yard every day and try to get good pictures of them but have never been able to get one to pose for us!!

"We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot.

It was a once in a lifetime moment - we were laughing about this little guy for days! said Mrs Brandts."


The picture was submitted to the website of America's National Geographic magazine.

I've tasted squirrels, for real. A bit stringy, but rather good in a stew. :)

Don't hate me cause I feel nothing when eating fuzzy creatures. :)

That is too awesome for words. You can't manufacture a moment like that... unless you have really good software.

Cheers,

TB, thank you for your kind words on the loss of my brother. I appreciate the good vibes. From my heart, thank you.

I love the look on its face.

PS. If you were serious then yes, you can use any of my kids sign pictures.

Classic, isn't it? I saw it on the Today Show. I guess host Matt Lauer at first thought it was fake.
