I've posted this photo before, but it was over the summer, and I didn't originally post it for Camera Critters. This was taken at the Grand Canyon right by the main rim trail. I guess the snake was lost, and the squirrel didn't want him there! The squirrel kept throwing dirt at the snake, but finally, the squirrel ran off. I'm usually deathly afraid of snakes, but there were so many people around, I knew I was safe. Happy 6 month anniversary to Camera Critters!
Wow! I'm glad the snake didn't eat the squirrel! Yay for you for getting such a great picture - I would have been FAR away from that snake!
ReplyDeleteand I was so afraid that the snake would swallow that poor squirrel, lol ! I am relieved, there is a happy end !
ReplyDeleteOh no, run squirrel run. So glad the squirrel was the snake's dinner.
ReplyDeleteWOW - Great capture!
ReplyDeleteGah! That is scary looking, but what a super shot!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I bet that was so fun watching the squirrel do that. I'm not a fan of snakes myself but I would have had to stay for the shot as well.
ReplyDeleteFabulous catch of nature in action Sandy
ReplyDeletei'm really surprised that snake didn't attack the squirrel! i would have been scared... you are brave!
ReplyDeleteNow that is cute, i guess the snake isn't hungry or is a vegetarian LOL good for the squirrel
ReplyDeleteI'm not so fond of snakes myself. I never would have expected the squirrel to throw dirt on the snake to try and get it to leave. I would have expected the squirrel to run away pretty quickly.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness is that a snake next to that squirrel! Oh my!! That squirrel doesn't seem bothered at all my his compnay. Holly!!
ReplyDeleteGlad both you and the squirrel made it out alright! He's one big snake!
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite things in one photo! Squirrels and the G.C.! That is SO like a squirrel...at least the squirrels that roam in places like the Grand Cyn...they come into contact with so any tourists they have real chutzpah!
