He (she) is making sure I do not take any of the corn someone has left at the base of this tree.

Haha. Had you reached for the corn, you might have lost a finger, or at least some skin!
Monte Stevens
I guess it shows I have some common sense. 🙂

Self preservation is a good thing! 🙂

Looks like his stash is well-defined! Good thing you decided not to challenge him…he might be sporting a newly-acquired XT-10!
Tom Dills
…that was supposed to read “well-defended.”
Monte Stevens
LOL Taking the X-T10 would probably have been a battle. It is more than just an appendage, ya know. 🙂

Maggie loves to chase these guys and they always play her for the fool staying just on the other side of the tree. The car, in the background, made for an interesting double-take moment…a tree with taillights? 🙂
Monte Stevens
Yes, the taillights are a distraction but the shot was what I wanted. I could have waited just one second but I did not see it until I loaded it on the computer. If there is such a thing as reincarnation, I would like to check squirrels as my first choice. They seem to have so much fun. They sleep in swaying trees and play around with dogs. 🙂
