I ran into Winston a few years back while walking through the park. I snapped this shot as he was launching into one of his speeches that stirred the spirits of his fellow forest denizens. When I left they were off to fight some beached whales or fight for beached whales. He was talking so fast I might have missed the gist of the speech.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Looks like you captured him at his "Finest Hour," Wendell.

Wendell - And, if you look carefully at his right paw, he is forming a 'V' in the classic Churchill manner. Between the British dialect and the darned cigar, it is a wonder you could understand anything he was saying. Perhaps he was saying, "God save Wales" and you mistook what was said. Said SIr Winston, "A joke is a very serious thing." In any case, it is a fine capture. Thad

I really like your shot and your narrative, Wendell. You have funny looking brown squirrels in your neck of the woods. This guy is really tackling a mouthful with that acorn that is half as big as his head. I am, however, shocked and appalled to see some background noise in your shot. Other than a busy background, this one is a beauty. Let me be the first to use the words sweet, cute and adorable in my comments.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

Is he going to be able to stay on there and eat at the same time, makes you wonder. Cute capture.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.
