Please, Please I Beg of You!

Posted by Barbara (Florida, United States) on 25 January 2008 in Animal & Insect.

Just one more peanut, please. This did it for me I emptied the bag with the rest of the peanuts for him. Of course the rest of the squirrel family arrived. In case you are wondering the squirrels, birds and other wildlife are frequently visited by nature lovers with their treats. Even though signs prohibit it, they do not go hungry.
This is the last in the squirrel series. I hope it was entertaining for you as it was for me to capture these. This is where I feel my best, in nature with it's creatures.

Look at him, not only is he enjoying your treat but has his 'hands folded' in thanks!!!
I've thoroughly enjoyed your series!

@Judy: Actually he did not have a treat yet. It was just a pose the shutter captured. But once he got a peanut he was off and running. Keeping his promise not to bother me anymore. By this time there were 10 others surrounding me. Thanks Judy.

This is so cute! I can't resist them either, they'll always get their hazelnuts :-)
