beauty is subversive in the distemper of these times
Photo Challenge, Tiny: Floats like a Butterfly, Stings like a Bee
Calling this guy “tiny” might be risky. He looks well nourished, but could be dangerous when hungry. Take caution of his fighting stance. He floats like a butterfly, but stings like a bee.
I love squirrels, they’re naughty, but fun to watch. I’ve begun setting out a few black oil sunflower seeds every day for them. I throw a few on the bottom of my feeder, it makes a racket, and within a minute or two my pine tree dweller is there having a snack.
Thanks very much! I was lucky to get this little critter to sit still for a few seconds! And you’re right–you don’t want to get on the bad side of such a fearsome creature!
Well, I’ve been scratched by one before, but I survived 🙂 We have several that run around our backyard all the time. This one is just in the perfect setting.

I felt lucky to have this guy stand still long enough for a pic. They are perpetual motion.

Tom, that’s such an amusing shot. He certainly looks ready to fight. What a pugilistic stance! But dare I say you’d be nuts to fight him? 🙂

Thanks! Now that I look, his underbelly seems to be similar in color to your pony.
