For this latest "Throwback Thursday", I offer the first of three 'photo-ops' with squirrels found somewhere in each picture. I took these snapshots on Sunday, June 28, 2015, at the Cypress Creek Tri-Rail (train) station in Pompano Beach, Florida - as I was preparing to head south to meet
Funimal, who (in turn) was going to take us both to the "Florida Supercon" in Miami Beach...
Of course, I'd brought along a disposable camera, which I was going to use at the aforementioned convention. But when I got to the Tri-Rail station (dropped off by my brother Glenn in his car), I saw a very bizarre sight on the eastern platform: one of the squirrels was resting - 'spread eagle' - on a handrail! I so wanted to take a candid shot of that squirrel; but, in order to do that, I had to take the camera out of its plastic wrapping. And, unfortunately, the squirrel on said handrail mistook the rustling of the plastic wrapping for the opening of a bag of peanut... and immediately moved out of position!
I still caught the critter out of the corner of my eye, and managed to take a picture of it on a tree it had climbed upon - as it hoped to get close enough to me for a handout. See if you can find the squirrel in this picture!
I'll have two more snapshots of these curious critters posted today...
