Don't let the other Squirrels see you do that!

Silly little critter

Marty

Gail and I often exchange e-mail's and yesterday when she finished typing her e-mail she looked out on her deck and low and behold here is a squirrel tugging and pulling with all his might to get a leaf off of an artificial poinsetta plant.  My goodness, that is just bizarre you would think he could tell the difference.  He pulled so hard that the leaf finally gave way, and Gail was ready with her camera.  She got the perfect picture through the glass door, caught the little thief with the leaf in his mouth..

The flash scared the squirrel and he scurried up the closest pine tree and sat there with his mouth full of the leaf, he chewed and chewed but to no avail.  Bet he went to the other side of the tree and politely spit out the leaf in total embarrassment.  Imagine, thinking an artificial leaf was worth eating!

Thank you Gail for getting this picture...
