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.

This is my entry for Qurator's Photo Friday Competition! You can read more about the competition and how to enter [here](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-s-photo-friday-or-photography-competition-102)!

The above photo is also my entry for the Deranged Photography Contest - Wildlife Wednesday (Beginner Tier) which is hosted by @derangedcontests! You can read more about the contest and how to enter [here](https://steemit.com/creativecoin/@derangedcontests/deranged-photography-contests-is-back-wildlife-wednesday-theme)!

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...

![b5ip70.jpg](https://img.esteem.app/b5ip70.jpg)

...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. ๐Ÿ˜

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. ๐Ÿคจ ๐Ÿ˜‰
