The Breadwinner by taffy

The Breadwinner

I took a break today from creating new photos for challenges and experimenting and instead carried my camera with me while walking from east to west campus. The little squirrel ran by me holding this large slice of bread, then ran up the tree, and 'hid' from me as I walked by. He may have thought I was after his treasure or may have been a little guilty about stealing the bread.
Wow! What a great shot. It looks like you are close enough to steal his bread.

So glad you had your camera with you! very cute shot!

That is great

It looks like a tiny loaf of bread! Very cute. He has a very guilty or anxious-looking face, not like my recent squirrel, who looked a bit grouchy. Nice job directing him into the V of the tree for the leading lines :)

@amandalomonaco @barbsmith @noragentian @taffy@lyno @wendyhgill @automaticslim Thanks to @anwan, I realized I had a 'v' to add to my alpha-2013 challenge. Two letters down, 24 to go!

Cool! I sort-of found an S yesterday, but I don't think it's very clear.

@ruthmouch He was thoughtful in posing so well for me!
@salemslot They're so photogenic - I looked for your shot, but realized you must not have posted that one.
@elisasaeter Thanks so much!
@steampowered With rats as the vermin, these guys are so much further up the latter that they're more like our wildlife.
@topcat They are fun to watch - playful creatures.
@kwind Thank you!

Ha ha - he looks like he's holding a whole loaf!
March 24th, 2013  
@boxplayer It was a large piece for him to run with down the alley and up the tree! Fun to watch him, and I was glad he decided to stop in such a good spot for me to photo.
March 24th, 2013  
Awesome shot - and cute too! :)

@danitech Thank you!

This made me smile! So cute! What a great shot!
March 27th, 2013  
Wow -- what a moment to capture! It's so hard to get squirrels to stop long enough to be in a photo but one with a story and the bread clearly visible is especially fun!

@spair Thanks Susan -- glad to bring a smile to you! He made me laugh as I watched him.
