OK so we go to the park today to feed the geese, and while I am surrounded by hissing geese, my husband says "oh look at the squirrel under your car. I go over to take a photo, and GUESS WHAT? the squirrel is eating my mud flaps and other plastic underneath! I make him get away, and he keeps coming back. I chase him away, over and over again, and then guess what happens? HE CHASES ME! UGH ! MY LAND ROVER has chewed away pieces in the bottom! I really cannot believe that happened to me! That last photo is how close he really was to me, and then I ran!

Thats one aggressive squirrel... lol!

[LensBaby]

HaH that is an understatement! You have no idea! :eek::eek::eek:

Sue - you really do need to keep the peanut butter off the mud flaps!! I have seen squirrels do weird things, but this is odd - eating mud flaps.

I know this is not funny, but I do have tears rolling down my face I'm laughing so much...

[jerryph]

Mean little sucker. Squirrels are not known to being that aggressive. I think you pissed him off... lol

[LensBaby]

UGh it was the other way around. He made me MAD! Haha he was a boy though (oh yeah sorry about the graphic photos)and I am good at pi$$ing off the opposite sex!

[Snappers]

LOL. Sorry Sue, for you it is not funny but the image it has cungered up in my mind is!

[LensBaby]

Yeah Andy, if someone else would have had a camera there, I am sure they would have some funny photos of me! The minute I get into nature photography look what happens! :eek:

@Sue,
The next time you go to that park, maybe if you take some peanuts with you that squirrel will leave your vehicle alone;)

[LensBaby]

HAHA I just told my husband that at dinner tonight :)

[jerryph]

My sisterm told me a secret yesterday... in her SUV she carries a huge bag of peanyts and... a secret incredient. When she dips the peanuts into this, the squorrels literally lick their paws clean and yearn for more.

The secret ingredient? A little touch of peanut butter on the end and every squirrel within miles becomes your friend... lol.

[LensBaby]

Hmmm I will have to remember that. The way that thing flew out of the vehicle at me, I don't know if I would want him around me or not! :eek:

[dkippen]

I don't think I'd want squirrels chasing after me. I have always heard they get pretty nasty when irritated.

[LensBaby]

That one was very upset that I made him stop eating my vehicle! I never expected him to jump out at me. HAHA it must have been a funny site to see though. There were some people sitting there that could NOT believe it did that. I ran and then the geese were hissing at me, because I was running and it scared them! This thing was hissing loud! I had to crop it because it was a little snap shot. (Not a good quality photo, but I was running very fast at the time)

Sue -

What's up with the animal kingdom and you?? It seems they've sent "animal" messages to watch out for you. This one is too funny. We have Canadians that hang out in the grass and driveway where I work and boy do they get agitated. I think the boss plants special food to keep the geese there so workers stay at the office longer.

[LensBaby]

lol it was a chain reaction. The squirrel scared me and I scared them! I felt bad, but of course I had to snap a quick snapshot at the same time.
