Another one-off photo entry in the countdown, this shot was just too irresistible not to slot somewhere in my Saturday Squirrel tribute because of how perfectly posed the squirrel seems to be. This photo was taken at the local park, and that brick structure you see there is a memorial where someone donated some money to the park district to have a loved one’s name etched in front of a tree. The logo I’m using for the countdown (see right) has a squirrel standing on one of these same bricks.
As I said, this one was just too perfect. How can anyone look at this and not think the squirrel is behind a podium giving a speech to an audience of…… well, let your imagination run wild. When I featured this photo in Saturday Squirrel, I went with a graduation theme since I took the picture in May. This squirrel’s excellent oration skills will live on in the annals of history as my 35th favorite Saturday Squirrel of all time, though we’ll stop short of referring to him as a master debator or cunning lunguist…
for us it looks like the president… we like this idea …
This squirrel would immediately go on Mt. Rushmore compared to recent leaders…
Great shot!
Makes me wonder what squirrelly office he’s running for.
Nutmaster General
I’d vote for him…..considering the choices that may be available I think Mr. Squirrel is a shoe-in (or would it be nut-in??).

As long as there aren’t any scandals involving birdfeeders…
Looks like squirrels cause mischief in all sorts of way. This guy looks as if he’s moving that memorial brick out of position. 😇
Maybe it’s the button to open his secret underground nest!
Hee, classic! I’m imaging a little crowd of squirrels sitting just out of shot listening to his speech.
All ready with nuts to throw at him once he starts backing out of campaign promises….
