If you observe squirrels as much as I have over the last few years, you begin to recognize many of their signature moves that lead to oft repeated poses. You’ve probably seen many photos of squirrels with both of their arms folded up towards their chest… I’ve featured quite of few like that on my blog. Less common is when a squirrel does this action half-assed, and only lifts one arm up to its breast. My most celebrated early Saturday Squirrel photo, and the pic I immortalized in this feature’s logo you see off to the right there, is the “Who, Me?” squirrel… and that is exactly how he is gesturing.
Today’s spotlight squirrel is trying his darndest to imitate my most famous weekend sciurine, but doesn’t seem to be doing a very good job of it. He looks more like he might be trying to imitate something else…
Ummmmm, aren’t you supposed to have your right paw over your heart, then?
Very much so… now you look like a Saturday Squirrel! With walnut trees, and acorns for all!
Have a great weekend everyone!
In secret circles that’s a sign recognizing the ‘hidden hand’ behind all things. 😃
Perhaps all of those plots by evil squirrels to take over the world really are true!
⚠ See what I’m sayin’…? ⚠
It is a Napoleon Bonaparte move- when he was reaching for his flask… 🙂
Well, this squirrel has met his (hic!) Waterloo…
pahaha! Indeed… naughty squirrel!!
Maybe he’s got a poorly tummy :-(. Ate some bad nuts.
And they don’t make little Alka Seltzers for squirrels with upset stomachs… 😦
Yes, I immediately thought of Fred Sanford/Redd Foxx when I read the title.
I agree with draliman though, maybe he was just feeling yucky?
Maybe the fact that I kept taking pictures of him gave him indigestion. “Go away, dude! I don’t wanna be on your stupid blog!”
Nice to be back on saturday to enjoy this furry creature in a strange pose. May be he is feeling all bloated up like humans.
A bloated squirrel would never be able to leap through the trees. He better take some time to decompress…
He is saying the Pledge of Allegiance. A very patriotic squirrel!
I’ll bet it sounds pretty funny in squirrel gibberish…
He’s cute. I am always enchanted by their antics no matter the pose.
Definitely! I only wish every move I made was so cute…
awww patriotic squirrel. “Oh hey can you see……” ❤
And dawn’s early light is when they are most active! 😀
HaHaHaHa!
That is one extra-extra cute squirrel! That is an odd pose though. I’ve seen them do the half-assed chest hug but their little “arms” are usually more curled than straight. Maybe the poor little fellow did have a tummy ache.
Ooooh, maybe I missed out on the very first Saturday ralphing squirrel! That would scare off everyone else who hasn’t already run away from my earworms and clown possums…
