A Red Squirrel Feast for Camera Critters

This little red, furry creature was peering at me through the branches of our aged Lilac tree, and after perhaps perceiving some sort of security it scrambled through the tree over to the old, tall Cranberry. Taking a delectable looking red berry in its paws, while it perched comfortably upon the crook in its branches, it began contentedly eating.
Standing on my tip toes, so as to avoid the screen on the lower half of the window, we were almost eye to eye, with just a couple of meters, a pane of glass, and the camera lens separating us. I somehow felt I had stumbled onto the pages of a childhood nature tale as it held the stem of the berry so properly as it ate.My appreciative thanks to Misty for hosting this site.
