The Super Squirrel...

Location: Kankaria Lake, Ahmadabad.

Date: 15th August, 2008

Another one at the same location. Same day. Well just

for your info, Ahmadabad still retains of a lot of the nature's really beautiful treasures. This squirrel made me realise what I was missing all these years in Mumbai. The city of Ahmadabad has this rich foliage all over the city and so it is the home to a rich diversity of animals and birds.

Well returning to this event that happened, I was having some peanuts. The "crane" shoot had quite excited me and I wanted to do some similar magic again. What happened next was that i completely forgot about the peanut packet. Only when the packet started to rustle again did I notice what was happening.

This little buddy of mine had actually got inside the packet to feast itself, while I was leaning on the wall to check if I could get some more of the "bird watching" snaps. I turned to get him onto the frame. But FYI, these are very sharp creatures when hearing is concerned. By the time I could get him onto the frame he was already on the run.

But the real mischief came to limelight when it stopped and gave me a look of sheer mockery.

I got the perfect snap and i guess this time with the nut in the hand. The final shot was came with this "Supper" Squirrel jumping over the wall before vanishing. I wished I could jump from such heights. But anyways.....

Thats all for now....and thanks for the appreciation for my earlier posts.

Aastalavista.....
