The snowy was sitting in the dunes not doing much when this squirrel came up from behind her, stopped for a second, then scurried on down the hill. The owl had recently eaten and must not have been hungry. Thankfully, Axel saw this image in camera and can vouch for its authenticity, I've never seen anything like it. ;) (Maybe should go in wildlife, but I usually hang out here)

Very cool Grace. Very cool. Great to see predator and prey together in a happy affair. :D Better you post here, because the owl is bigger than the squirrel. (my silly reasoning) LOL! Another great natural history image and the story too. :)
Grace, I would say you have a very unique image here, for sure. How many sayings can you come up with to go on a wall poster for inspiration or caution etc...One that comes to mind for the squirrell is " Where are my glasses". Remember humor inspires. And this images does that and a good laugh. Well captured
Lucky Squirrel.
Lucky you for being where you were at the time.
Wonderful capture Grace and the timing on this was amazing as already said. Congratulations on a great image !!!
That's a once in a lifetime shot.
I am absolutely jealous...once in a life time and excellent Grace :)
I would have wet myself from laughter.. Super super capture.
Hey Grace I missed this one and I have to say that it is really an amazing photograph. Very cool :-)
