Mmmm… Birdseed….

Photo #279: Hungry SquirrelLocation Taken: Arcadia, Michigan
Time Taken: January 2011

It’s not too often I get animals being kind enough to sit still for me. But when I do, I will take the opportunity to grab some photos.

Even if, say, the light is poor and the squirrel doesn’t stay around long enough for me to make sure I got a clear shot.

I like squirrels, in an odd way. But then, I like common spiders, mice, pigeons, and a whole host of run-of-the-mill critters. They’re both familiar and a reminder that there’s a whole world outside the constructed reality we humans have crafted for ourselves.

Well, that and that there are some animals who do just fine in human lands.

Like this squirrel, munching away at the bird seed my grandma sets out every morning.
