Here’s a photo of a squirrel from a few years ago that I dug up from my archive that’s a bit unnerving. That look on the squirrel’s face…. shudder! If looks could kill, I wouldn’t be writing this post now. That sinister look in his beady eyes. The annoyed expression. The “you’ll get what’s coming to you” smirk on his face. All because I happen to be interrupting his snack. Sorry, dude! Please don’t hurt me! I can tell you’re a pretty badass squirrel, with maybe a touch of psycho killer in you…. but even when you look like a Bond villain plotting his next move, you’re still awful darned cute. Cute enough to be featured as this week’s Saturday Squirrel!
Hopefully I live to post another one next week….
Have a great weekend everyone!
Maybe he just didn’t want to share his nut.
😊
Great shot!
I’m sure he didn’t. Though I’d have passed on the slightly used nut anyway…
Awww……I think this guy is adorable and looks to me like he’s just minding his own business, having breakfast (or lunch or dinner) when Mr. Human comes along with a camera – he stopped eating long enough to allow a photo to be taken – – – very cooperative model I’d say!
Pam
Well, even Al Capone was cooperative enough to have his photo taken sometimes….
True but he usually was holding a machine gun instead of a peanut or acorn!
He looks like he’s plotting something for sure!
Definitely sinister! I love that squirrels seem to convey a lot of the facial expressions that people do…
Mr. Squirrel in the tree does look a tad annoyed and I can sympathize. I don’t want somebody bothering ME in mid nosh. So he could be forgiven…and yes, he is awfully cute, posed on his branch that way, with his furry tail providing a warm soft place to lean and eat. He looks very well fed too, so I bet his nut count is pretty impressive…
He probably intimidates the nuts out of the other squirrels. Actually, anyone who’s seen a group of squirrels at a feeder knows the alpha gets what he wants while the others either wait, or risk their tails trying to sneak some…
“I didn’t spend six years in Evil Squirrel School to be called ‘mister,’ thank you very much…”
He might have gotten his doctorate in evil squirrelery had he not blown up the entire school…
Yes, a definite Bond villian. He looks diabolical.
He just needs a little chipmunk henchman, and he’s good to go…
I see the wheels turning. He’s plotting something…
How to take down the nature paparazzi…
I have a set of woodpeckers who always look like that. They are the original Angry Birds and the other birds don’t mess with them. For that matter, I don’t mess with them.
I don’t think I’d mess with happy looking woodpeckers. That beak is definitely to be respected…
Looks just like all Denver squirrels. Especially the unhappy, plotting ones. 🐿
A plotting squirrel is a happy squirrel. Maybe they just want access to dispensaries…
No doubt it’s all about access to the ‘Good Stuff.’
Awwwww look at those fuzzy little squirrel fingers. He might be unhappy to see the paparazzi have arrived.
I’m probably lucky I didn’t get one of those fuzzy little fingers raised in my direction. Actually, make that unlucky. That would be such a cute photo with this guy’s face….
That squirrel would be a lot more adorable if he didn’t look like he was plotting your death. Yeah, that’s definitely a wee bit unnerving. Whew!
Oh he’s plotting.
And you will be sorry.
Haha!
