To my amazement when I was standing outside taking pictures of my daughter, I noticed a little squirrel run past me with something blue hanging out of his mouth.

As I turned to see what it was, he perched himself right above me in an old tree and began to gnaw on an old toothbrush.

Talk about being at the race place at the right time!
