Bounty Hunter

'Bounty Hunter' was inspired by a family of squirrels that had just brought their babies down from their nest high up in the hollow of an aspen tree. The parents took each baby and taught them how to climb up and down the tree. The next day they spent time teaching them to forage for food. I captured in 'Bounty Hunter' this baby squirrel, by the side of the trail, trying to carry this mushroom which was too big for him to handle. The mushroom, actually life size, which was dropped, when the baby squirrel noticed us watching him, gave me the correct size for this baby squirrel.
