caught in the act...

...eating a leaf

off the tree

i couldn't quite figure out what - this little guy was doing - i'd followed him around the park - chatting to him on occasion - until he finally took a last look at me - and scurried up this tree - then he began hugging it - making me giggle beyond belief - although i contained myself quietly so - he wouldn't run off - it wasn't until i uploaded the shots - that i realized what he was really doing - silly me - he was having a morning snack - i guess i didn't know squirrels ate leaves - but if they're brand new sprouts - like this, since it's springtime - i would guess they taste very good - and for them, that would make it...

a

happy day.....
