Squirrels and Headaches and Joining Texture Tuesday Too!
While snapping photos of birds yesterday, I watched a pair of squirrels romp around the yard - "playing" in the snow and racing up and down the trees. They finally settled on to branches next to the feeder.
I love how they stop and freeze - trying to look like park of the tree - when they hear a suspisious sound.
Like this one peeking out from behind the branch.

During this little photo session I started to develop a headache - I knew that I needed to take some aspirin to stop it from spreading - but I didn't want to stop snapping pictures.
I lifted my camera to take pictures of the second squirrel who was sitting on a higher branch . . .
when he did a peculiar thing - he straightened up and then set his forehead down on the tree branch . . .
and sat like this for several minutes.
I wonder, do squirrels get headaches too?
I hope that you are having a great day!
Be Wonderfully Odd!
Squirrels are such fun creatures to observe - scampering, suddenly stopping, staring. The one tucking his head is really cute - so glad you were there to take a photo!
