AR 2016 Photo Contest - Real Life Category Animal Photo

Dick Greenberg is hosting an ActiveRain 2016 Photography Contest.  

 

squirrel eating pumpkin

 

This post is my entry is for the Real Life Category - Animals. 

 

I took this photo with my Canon Camera.  The photo was not edited in any way other than resizing it. It was taken sometime during the last week of October.  It was fun watching the squirrel(s) eat away at the pumpkin day after day until ... 

 

Squirrel climbing inside pumpkin

  

they finally made their way inside of the pumpkin.

 

Yes. it was a mess. I did not mind cleaning it up. In fact, I am still finding seeds here and there.  I think they might have been burrying them in the tankbark.  

 

It is truly the simple things in life that bring me joyful moments. Anything dealing with nature or animals will do that for me. 

 

There were so many photos to choose from. This is the most current and fitting for the fall season.

That is one smart squirrel, Kathleen Daniels and no wonder when you consider how tasty those pumpkin seeds can be!

Hi Kathleen - Great shot! As far as I can tell, we only have one squirrel in our entire neighborhood, and he hasn't found our pumpkins yet. Thanks for another contest entry!

Don't you know you aren't suppose to feed the wildlife? Just joking. That is a really cute picture. That little guy finally made a cave out of the pumpking. Now he has an edible house.

I'm right there with you, Kathleen! Nature, wildlife, oh how I love feeding my birds every morning for free entertainment at breakfast! Pumpkins aren't just for carving, I guess...what fun that you captured both scenes!
