Caught Taking a Bribe

The squirrels have been out and about all afternoon chasing each other all through the yard. They would stop occasionally to eat and check out what I was doing.

I wanted to get a photo of a squirrel in a specific spot (this one) so that the background didn't have any houses or cars in it. So I came inside, wrapped a piece of thread around a peanut and hung it on the fence post. For whatever reason, the squirrels didn't notice it. So I got a tablespoon of peanut butter and put it at the very tip of the fence post. Within two minutes I was able to get this shot.

He ate the peanut butter and then snatched the peanut off the post and took off...
