This week’s challenge on Susan and my alternate site is CURIOUS CRITTERS.

What do you do when you are a curious squirrel looking for a change of venue and an unforeseen opportunity presents itself?

Well this lone wolf followed its instincts, noticed that no one was occupying this bird house , scampered up the tree and took a chance that it would not be caught.

Lynne Reimer who was recently exploring the nature trails at WasKatenau Nature Trails in Alberta proved this squirrel wrong and captured a series of photos that caught the four footed critter with its paws in the proverbial cookie jar.

I suspect this tiny invader,  surprised that it was caught by an observant camera enthusiast, decided to smile, pose for the camera and make the best of an embarrassing situation.
