squirrel

I was scanning through old pictures and came across this one. My husband had a knack for capturing great shots and I've always thought this was one of them.

You can almost read that determined squirrel's mind - now, how am I going to get from here to there?

You see, the wooden object just below him is a fully-loaded bird feeder. Thing is, if he tries to lower himself to the shelf below, the feeder will start swinging and he won't be able to stay attached. However, squirrels are great gymnists and have the ability to twist their bodies into sometimes ridiculous, and what looks to me to be impossible, positions to achieve their objective - food.

Kind of reminded me of myself sometimes. How I manage to get myself into impossible situations to achieve my goal. But...we won't go there today.
