I spotted this squirrel while I was taking my daily walk. He was oblivious to me as I walked beneath his perch atop the light pole. The photo is original. I just amped up the wattage. It was enjoying its breakfast and looked at me like I was nuts as I stopped and pointed my camera at it.

This is my dedication to the late Glen Campbell and his song Wichita Lineman. It is also a dedication to my grandson who is now a lineman and was recently hired by our local Electric Coop. He has a job for life and his future is assured. He acts a little squirrely from time to time, so this suits him. It's also my contribution to SNATM.

I miss Glen and the Goodtime Hour. He was a very good musician and a very likeable person. Also, best wishes to your grandson. That is a tough job and thank God their are people willing to do it.

I definitely like the treatment. I admire what others do. It looks so interesting in their photos. When I try replicating it in one of mine, I never find a combination I like.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), you've 'electrified' your image in a perfect way, so enhancing the 'tension' (😁).

Because of its flexibility this squirrel would be a perfect lineman too.
Perfect entry for the SNATM-theme (🎥)!
Great dedication to both the late Glen Campbell (famous for his 'Rhinestone Cowboy' song) and your grandson.
Very well done, 👍 !
