Poetic Shutterbug

I brought Nutter Butters to the gardens with me yesterday and the squirrels were delighted :)

I fed him Nutter Butters and from then on he followed me around the entire day :) Check out all the other camera critters for today by clicking the above widget.

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.

All photos taken at the Botanical Gardens. Funny thing is, everyone feeds the squirrels, it's one of the highlights of hanging out at the gardens.
