Who's Been In The Cookie Jar?

#1 on Explore! What fun!
We have a baby squirrel living in our wood pile on the back deck, and she's full of mischief. Her favorite activity is sitting right by the window, taunting my dog Osa. My other "pet" squirrel Squiggy has disappeared except for one time when the two squirrels duked it out over a pile of sunflower seeds I'd put out. For all I know, this is her baby... I call her Squiggy Junior.

I have an ebook with 25 squirrel pictures and funny/inspirational sayings available now at Smashwords and Amazon. The book is called "Life Lessons from My Squirrel Friends". The ebook is available for different kinds of e-readers and both sites offer a free sample.

    Thanks for your comments and invitations, everybody! I have to admit that the jar was bought specifically for possible photographic opportunities. I've had a few birds pose next to it but nothing was quite as interesting as my obliging squirrel. BTW, the rock is called a flower rock and can apparently only be found on nearby Texada Island.

  8. ImageInnovation Photography (60 months ago | reply)

    LOL, LOL. What a terrific shot, Peggy. Wonderfully sharp details and what a priceless pose. I just love the little feet. What was inside the jar? She looks like she trying to give the cover a mighty heave so it must have been something good. Faved.

    Thanks, Lydia. The jar's empty, but she's such a little monkey she's into everything. I've yet to photograph her at it, but she likes to pop her head out of the sound hole of an old guitar we've got out back. She specializes in cuteness!

    Ha ha! It does look like that, doesn't it? There's an alternate title... Maybe she's going for a jog to work off all the cookies she ate!

    Splendid and humours shot. Squirrels make the most wonderful posers. And anything with a lid is only a challenge to be met.
