Pumpkin laid out on the porch for Halloween is put to good use. After several timid approaches and nervous glances, the squirrel picked up sufficient courage to start gnawing at the pumpkin. When it had settled down to the feast, I was able to click a few hurried shots, before it heard the noise of the shutter and scurried away. Picture shot with a Canon DSLR EOS 550D on October 21, 2017.
