Silhouette Of A Squirrel


I always liked those old silhouette portraits of people and this black squirrel against the sky reminded me of them. The squirrel looks like it is hunkered down against the cold wind but it was actually trying to open a really hard nut of some type. 

Taking part in Saturday's Critters. Click HERE to see more creatures from around the world.

It's a perfect silhouette. We used to have one of my mother that was made when she was a teenager. I wonder where it is now.

...I was surprised when I first saw your black squirrels. They aren't down here.

Hello :=)
A fine silhouette of a black squirrel that I don't see where I live. I'm sure no matter how difficult it was to open the nut the squirrel managed to do it. They are very smart creatures and their long teeth and claws are sharp tools.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend
All the best
