Last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful high school senior at Rohner Park. The day was pretty, the weather was warm and my model was gorgeous:

I brought Taters along with me and gave her my back-up camera and telephoto lens. She loves that camera and I knew between the donkeys, feral cats, and crows, she'd have plenty of subject matter to shoot.

Just prior to the shoot starting, we saw this little fellow:

Cute, isn't he? With a bushy little gray tail and beady black little eyes, he's the epitomy of a wholesome nature moment. He skipped and he scampered along providing Taters with giggles and endless photo ops:

However, the adorableness of this little fellow quickly came into question as he made his way up this tree:

And we saw this hanging from a branch:

I heard Taters gasp and I saw her cover her mouth. She looked in horror at the squirrel and then at the shoe. She then professed:

"All that remains of the last child to see Mr. Meaty, the carnivorous squirrel, is a solo tennis shoe, Mom."

It's safe to say that we stayed away from Mr. Meaty's tree and were able to dodge his bucktoothy advances. Our warning for you? Stay outta Rohner Park unless you want to face the same demise from Mr. Meaty, the carnivorous squirrel.

Happy Halloween :-)
