What's That You Have Little Squirrel?

Yesterday, while walking through a quaint little village, I saw something fuzzy scampering across the cobblestones quite a ways ahead of me. I always have an instinct for squirrels. Friends tease me that I'm like the dog in whatever kids movie that is, that always says "Squirrel!" In fact, that is exactly what I do. I wish I could be as observant of everything else, or more important things, like my stock portfolio, but alas, that stuff is not cute.

I immediately abandoned where I was headed and followed the little thing until I got close enough to identify that it was indeed a squirrel. He was quite off balance by something he was carrying in his mouth - way too big to be a nut.

I did my best to scamper behind him, moving fast enough to gain ground but not so fast as to make him move even faster, thinking something was pursuing him. He'd stop but by the time I'd get my darn auto-focus camera to stabilize, he'd take off again. Finally I got a shot of what he had snagged for lunch...

Pizza!
