Thank you, all three of you.

The back story behind these pictures is as follows. While waiting for my wife to finish a meeting at the college where she works, I wandered around campus, looking for photographic opportunities. I took a few pictures in an hour, and as I came back to my car, I saw this character, and took 14 pictures in 6 minutes; as I looked at them when we got home, I realized I could string these three {the best of the lot} together like this.

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

He seems to have considered it to be his turf.

And since it is on a college campus he was probably waiting for you to feed him some junk food.

Yeah, probably.

To be honest, around the time I was taking #2, I was concerned that he might be sick, but #3 alleviated my concerns; once when we had a sick cat, our vet said you could judge a cat's health by its grooming - grooming is the first activity it will skip if it's energy levels are low - and I figured the same was probably true for squirrels.

If the squirrel is like some cats #2 is "Weak, starving, feed meeeeeeeeeeeee!"

Thank you. Think of this series if you happen to see me ask questions about the "story behind" images.

Yep. And pay off his college debt too.
