Photography is rad. From time to time I come across a photo that makes me realize the precision and timeliness of still moments. Pictures that have obviously taken a lot of time to set up, or those that may have merely happened by miraculous chance, cause everyone to pause a little bit longer and think how that photo happened. You begin to play scenarios in your head and asking yourself the question, “how did this happen”?

Well this series of photos from one flickr user (powerpig) are no exception. He either nurtured and tamed the neighbor hood squirrel OR he patiently and deliberately set up these scenes and photo opportunities to catch the little beast in the most amazing settings. If you ask me, either are incredible.
