Have you ever had one of those images you really want but never seem to be able to nail? Of course, I suspect we all have. I seem to be developing a hefty list, but I thought I would share one that is probably as close as I'll get.

There's this huge tall tree up in the playground area where I work with my squirrels. At the very top, there is this interesting fungus. Even with my 150-600mm lens, I still can't get a decent shot, as you will see. This tree sits directly behind the picnic table where I often put peanuts for my guys, and it's not unusual for them to grab one and run up the tree. One day a squirrel did exactly that, but where he chose to sit I couldn't resist trying to capture. It's not perfect, but it is cute.

Hope you enjoy!

I have had a pair of nice Serengeti Navigator sunglasses since 1995. I've misplaced them more than one time. Once I left them on the bench in front of my locker at my golf club, went home, and not finding them, went back to the club, amazed to see them still sitting there.

The oddest time, however, was at my car dealership. After waiting for maintenance on my car to be finished I looked around and couldn't fine my sunglasses. I looked everywhere in the dealership that I'd been and couldn't find them. Finally I asked somebody in the lounge if they'd seen them. They told me they were on my head. I NEVER put my glasses or sunglasses up on my head, but that day I had, and forgot that I had. No wonder I couldn't find them. I was thankful to find them but felt like a total ditz.
