Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra, Extra
My entry to the week’s photo challenge. As we were taking a break from hiking the Kaibob trail in the Grand Canyon a few weeks back, I started to take a photo of a common rock squirrel – then I noticed that I could also see a mule train coming up the distant trail below. By changing my angle a little bit and zooming in, it became (in my mind at least) a photo of the notorious Outlaw Squirrel observing the wagon train below and getting ready for the ambush – a scene played out in countless western movies – though not necessarily by squirrels. Hope you enjoy – “the Ambush”.
Shouldn’t he be wearing a black hat?
On the other hand this could just be one of those NSA surveillance squirrels….

Haha, Scott. Reminds me of all the westerns where the Indians sprout on the horizon.
