So my son needed to gather rocks for a science experiment and me being me, couldn't just let him gather them from our yard. Nope, instead I took him to the local river bed (so he could get a better variety of course). And since we were out and about I took my camera and got lost in the fabulous ice formations. On our way out to the car I saw a beautiful little squirrel who was tucked up nice and neat to his tree and decided to see how close he would let me get with my camera. What ensued was a 5-10 minute showdown that had me giggling the whole time. Why, might you ask? Thanks to my children I have had exposure to quite a bit of animated movies and one of their favorites was "Open Season". In this movie the wildlife fights back and the squirrels are given scottish accents. So while this little squirrel was challenging me I didn't hear his little clicks and chirps, in my mind it was translated to Scottish slandering. The time he spent whirling around the tree trying to sneak up on me just had me in stitches, to the point that he made it very hard to concentrate and get focused enough to get the shots I wanted. It was a very entertaining 10 minutes!
