Innocent Bribes - Sheri & Bill

Beneath a tall pine tree on a warm spring day at Stone Mountain Park, we took a well-deserved, seated break from our long woodsy photo shoot. Walking for miles over root laden paths, rocks and streams, we found that a bottle of water each and a bag of potato chips hit the spot. Our unexpected newfound friend thought so too.

From an elevated position, this curious creature took an interest in our photo equipment, our dazzling charm and salty chips. We offered all three, but the chips won out, and our aptly named "Squirrel Buddy", accepted every chip we offered.

Photogenic Squirrel Buddy eagerly posed for another chip, and then another, so chips became the agreed upon sitting fee. Twelve feet up the pine tree soon became Squirrel Buddy’s happy vantage point to munch away, one chip at a time, while looking down on us and our cameras.

The three of us had a few intimate moments together. A smidgen of trust was shared inch by inch.

Sheri: We coaxed and clicked, using our best “ease-putting” photographic spiel--you know, “Say cheese”, and “You’re such a nice squirrel”, and “Who’s your daddy”.

Bill: Just wondering is there a legal limit for chips? Not sure, but enough was consumed by Squirrel Buddy to get fully “Chip Faced”.

With a desire to share our everyday world in story and imagery, we look forward to finding special moments for us to discover, and capture…with bribe offered as needed, of course! Just saying….

Positively Speaking, “Sheri & Bill...Story Tellers in Word, Image and Song.”
