One thing that Kathleen and I have noticed this fall is that the wildlife around us seems a little less interested in holding still when I try to make a photo.

We’ll be walking along, I’ll see a crow with some french fries, pause to compose a photo, and no sooner does that happen, the crow is gone.

The worst offenders are the squirrel orbs though. I’m always delighted by their winter preparations – getting all chonked up as they do – and always try to make a great photo. Unfortunately, they seem especially reluctant this year and just won’t stand still as Kathleen and I celebrate their calorie-storage achievements.
