When driving I often see squirrels crossing above the roadways along the overhead wires but never can get a shot. One day I was on a small street and this squirrel was on a long wire (about 50 ft) so I pulled over and managed to catch a shot before it reached the tree. I don't remember squirrels doing this when I was a kid but maybe there were not thick wires around for internet etc in those days.

Agile little creatures, aren't they? I just wish they weren't clever enough to get into my loft-space from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThe squirrels are brave walking on the wires. I only see them walking on my deck railing looking for peanuts. Great capture!

ReplyDeleteSquirrels are amazing acrobats high in the air, but I have seen them fall. They just look embarrassed and run off.

ReplyDeleteAch! Squirrels!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing watching these little tightrope walkers. Oddly enough, there aren't many squirrels in the town where I live. Maybe owls and such eat them, but I've not seen many owls either.
ReplyDeleteAnother carefree critter without fear!
