When I stepped out the front door, I noticed a squirrel. By the time I realized what s/he was carrying, s/he was up in the top of the trees.
The whole apple that s/he didn’t drop really had me impressed.
It was an amazing acrobatic feat!
Finally the little daredevil made it into the crack of the tree.
Home sweet home!

I was amazed how s/he was flying with that thing in his/her mouth.

They are so much fun to watch!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 19:23:29
I do love watching them.
Oct 31, 2012 @ 19:19:46
Superb photography–very surreal!

Thanks. Glad you stopped by.

What daring, what skill! Watch the little squirrel defy death and safely bring dinner home!!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:02:56
You make it sound like a great action/adventure movie!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 19:25:22
That is pretty impressive!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:03:13
I don’t know if the other squirrels were impressed, but I was totally amazed!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 19:31:46
Great pics of that squirrel! I thought only my squirrels lugged around heavy apples….
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:03:46
This is the first I’ve seen them do that. Usually they just sit in the tree and eat on the apples and peaches, but this one had been lying in the front yard.

Super lucky to be there for those amazing shots!
I had a squirrel steal a pear once and had it up in the tree, nothing as great as your fearless creature though!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:05:19
The leap really impressed me!
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:22:02
Go little squirrel go!! :O)
Oct 31, 2012 @ 20:22:57
He made it safely to his/her destination!

Such fun to watch!
Many thanks for stopping by – love yr site!

Thanks. They really are funny to watch.
Nov 01, 2012 @ 07:37:43
LOL, that’s quite a treasure he found!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 07:57:25
I can only imagine how pleased s/he was!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 07:52:23
They truly are amazing! How they can keep their balance when they are carrying something so big is astounding!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 07:57:38
I know I’d go crashing to the ground!

Fabulous photography ~ Squirrels are amazing to watch and you did well to ‘capture’ the antics ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^

I’m guessing with the drought and lack of acorns on my oak trees, I’ll have plenty of squirrel photo ops as they eat dog food on my deck. That’s always fun!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 08:09:04
What an amazing feat! You’d think he’d at least be thrown off balance by that huge apple. Nice captures of the action.
Nov 01, 2012 @ 08:12:00
Thanks. I couldn’t believe s/he didn’t just stop at the first branch and munch on it. Not sure how well it will store for later in the winter!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 17:36:38
hahahahah!
Amazing!
That last black and white shot has a culed leave to the right that is absolutely wonderful!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 17:44:50
It was quite impressed with those acrobatic leaps!
Nov 01, 2012 @ 17:37:03
That would be…..curled….. lol
Nov 03, 2012 @ 07:08:08
They really are amazing and agile critters!
Nov 03, 2012 @ 07:44:58
I’m quite impressed. I know I’d fall crashing to the ground.
