Mission Impossible #4 Part Two (Mission Complete)

            I am adding this image to the group "Your best shot 2020"  because I really like the details, especially in the eye-shine.  When enlarged you can see the beautiful blue sky with some puffy white clouds and a couple of oak tree silhouettes.  

Ah yes, mission complete!  After all of the effort Robbie put into his mission impossible games in order to retrieve the coveted treats, he was successful.  As the champion of the MI games, he was able to enjoy all of the fruit snacks and then some before Marion had a chance to claim a single morsel.  
Robbie’s enjoyment did not come without a little more drama though.  It seems that Marion was displeased as she watched Robbie devour the tasty fruit.  She actually pulled a move from a different movie.  As Robbie sat there enjoying his reward Marion buzzed the station.  Just like Tom Cruise buzzed the tower in “Top Gun”.  

She flew just over his head and then mine.  Sensing danger, Robbie scurried down the palm stump and through the thicket to the Eastside fence.  Running as fast as he could, Robbie rounded the fence and all but flew up a tall palm tree in the back of the yard.  He continued until he was in the neighbors oak tree and out of sight.  

Poor Robbie, Marion gave him quite a fright with her buzz maneuver.  It’s understandable I suppose.  I mean seriously, she gave me chills as the wind and the sound from her wings whizzed by my head.  Be that as it may, perhaps next time Marion.  Robbie earned his well-deserved snacks.  I still wish I would have thought to switch to video mode for his activities.  Especially that pancake position.  I have never seen a squirrel shimmy around like that in a flattened position.  So cute! 

You can see oak one in his eye along with the blue sky. 

I hope you have a terrific Tuesday, happy snapping.
