THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING A LOT LATELY AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SIMPLY HAS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
THE LITTLE PINE SQUIRRELS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TEACH THE PEANUTS HOW TO DO A “DIVE” OFF OF THE FEEDING PLATFORM. THIS SEEMS PRETTY FUTILE AS THE PEANUTS SHOW NO INTEREST AT ALL IN LEARNING HOW TO DO THIS…THEY HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO…
LIKE SAYING GOODBYE TO THEIR LOVED ONES, ETC. BEFORE THEY ARE SNATCHED UP BY THE BLUE JAYS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS IMAGE, FOR THE MOST PART THE PEANUTS ARE HUDDLED TOGETHER SAYING, “SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE”, AS THE BLUE JAY APPROACHES…THE PINE SQUIRREL IS FOCUSED ON USING THE CORRECT DIVING FORM, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANDING STRIP. THIS CAN ONLY LEAD TO PERMANENT SKID MARKS ON THE BACK OF THE SQUIRREL AND LIFE LONG TRAUMA FOR THE PEANUTS, FROM WITNESSING SUCH AN EVENT.
I USE THE TERM “LIFE LONG” LOOSELY. OBVIOUSLY THE PEANUTS HAVE ONLY MERE MOMENTS LEFT ON THIS EARTH, SO DON’T FEEL TOO BADLY FOR THEM.

Nicely captured example of the main cause of PTSD – Peanut Traumatic Stress Disorder 😉

Once more we have the blue jays in perfect pose… the squirrel the same and then the surprise…. talking peanuts…. now when some drunk is propping up a pub with a bowl of peanuts in front of him. .. let them be the talking kind. … pink elephants will never be the same, and wives will have to endure the “and the peanut said. …” stories….. that could make quite a good comic strip story board….

Well get busy Bulldog! I expect to see an awesome cartoon form you in the near future.
You made me think about the peanuts in the bars…aren’t they without shells? In other words…they are UN-DRESSED…how inappropriate!

With everything seeming to be so muted and grey/brown that brilliant blue jay could not go unnoticed. That squirrel is definitely out to lunch!
