High Wire Act
No! I didn't go to the circus but I did go outside and happened to notice this adventurous little squirrel on the utility pole in front of my house.

The little squirrel started out on that pole and seemed very sure-footed and fearless as he (or she) scurried across the wire high above the ground. This is the series of photos that I took as he made his way to the next utility pole which was almost three houses up from me.
(some but not all of the following photos are blurry as he was a fast little critter)
On the next pole up and ready to hit the high wire again!!
Getting ready to jump and...
...he made it! He decided to jump to a tree. I wasn't so sure that he was going to make that jump but I'm pretty glad he did. He was so close to the third pole up but I guess he didn't want to go that far as there is a black walnut tree on this side of the poles!

Thank you so much @dkkarolien!! I held my breath when he went for that jump onto the tree. Luckily, he made it and the branch held. Watching him walk along the wires made me think he has suction cups on his feet..lol. 😁
Fantastic photographs of this high wire act ❤ @deerjay! :-)
The autumn colors behind him on the top photo sure pops
that squirrely guy!
Thank you very much @shasta!! I couldn't have asked for a nicer background on that one. 😊
Great shots! Quite the high wire act, Dee. Squirrels are agile but it looks scary on those wires. 🐿 ❤️
Thanks so much Jo!! I thought for sure that the branch would break or slingshot that squirrel when he made that jump but I'm glad it did neither..lol. 🙂
Howdy deerjay! Wonderful photos of the little guy, they're quite fun to watch and the amount of wires there is amazing!
Hi @janton and thank you very much!! Yes, they are and he or she was quite the agile little critter. Some places in Maryland have the wires underground but not near where I live. 🤨 😉
