Description
Ever been between a rock and a hard place? I kept this cookie jar and flower rock (only found on nearby Texada Island) on our back deck just because I liked the look of them. One day I heard my "pet" squirrel Squiggy on the deck and figured I should grab my camera. I aimed through the living room window just in time to catch him in the act, when curiosity got the better of him. Squiggy was around for about three years and he was always entertaining. He was the beginning of my career in squirrel photography! This photograph won a Canadian Geographic magazine photo contest and was published in special editions of the magazine twice. It has also been published in many other books and magazines and even on limited edition coffee bags! Squiggy was my best squirrel model and I still miss him.

I don't think he has been in there yet but I think he is determined to get there. Squirrels are sure interesting little critters to watch--highly intelligent and bold enough to try anything. Lots of fun to watch--unless they are in your bird feeder. Nice detailed photo and I'm enjoying. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for your kind comments, Mary! Yes, he was pretty determined but didn't quite get the job done. :-)

What a fun shot! I love how he's balancing against the rock to push the lid off! I'm sorry Squiggy is gone.
