Photos On The Lighter Side - A Little Critter Talk

Barry had the right idea... His photos of the chipmunk lurking in the tailpipe of his GTO were a great diversion.
Following Barry’s lead, I too, have frequently noticed that many posts are often far too serious or heavily mixed with urgent requests for needed attention or a compassionate ear. These requests are essential and we should make every attempt to reply to them with as helpful and compassionate responses as possible. Having said that, a heavy diet of these exchanges can become more than daunting to many readers and responders.
Accordingly, I've assembled a few photos I’ve taken of critters, and annotated them with what I think, are captions of what these critters might say if they could, in the hope they’ll bring a smile to your face.
In case you’re interested, the photos of the Harris's Antelope Squirrels were taken at Hoover Dam near the canteen on the Nevada side of the Colorado River. Photo’s of the other critters were either taken on the deck or down in the garden here at our home in Virginia. Enjoy.
V/R, Batch

You love lots of things if you live around them. But there isn't any woman and there isn't any horse, not any before nor after, that’s as lovely as a great airplane. Man has one virginity to lose in fighters, and if it is a lovely airplane he loses it to, there is where his heart will forever be.

Great photos, Pete.  You're pretty darned good with that camera.
Seeing "Tony" and "Chuck" fiddling with the 02 cylinder makes me a little uneasy, though--if we screw up and go extinct, the raccoons will most likely take over.
They've got brains, they've got fingers... but raccoons don't strike me as being wired any tighter than we are. They're probably sunk. 
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Awesome Batch. Those were some great pics with the captions. Angie and I just got home from biking and read this thread and still laughing. 
A good laugh at the end of a day sure puts a different look on things. Thanks again.

Ok, one more from me. This was taken May 19 07 by me about 3 feet from the corner of my house. We just turned into the driveway when we saw "Bart The Bear" wandering around our back yard. This is as close as I got to him/her so better to be safe than sorry.
Now that is an outdoor pet!
