On this photo outing last week, I found myself switching from one of the biggest creatures in the forest to one of the smallest.

The moose were grazing nearby and I was happily photographing them when motion from this golden mantled squirrel got my attention.

It was busy scurrying about, looking for a meal, when it found this flowery bush. I have no idea what kind of flower / bush that is but the pods on it were apparently to the squirrel’s liking as it proceeded to really pig out on them.

Here it is seen pulling a branch down so it can grab one.
