Aww Nuts

It’s fascinating watching squirrels in the fall as the scramble to collect nuts for the winter. When a friend challenged me to create something with squirrels, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have some fun. I imagine the squirrels dropping their prize collectables and exclaiming AWW NUTS!
