It's not possible to manage time. You can't make the clock run faster. You can't make it run slower. You have no control over time. Each of us begins the day with 1440 minutes. "Time Management" is the ultimate oxymoron. And, this is supposed to be woven with humor. Squirrels have no sense of time, nor management of their inventory of time. Although, they do store food for winter and they don't squander their time, nor waste energy. My alternative title might have been, "Squanderer Squirrel", but I felt it was a stretch for DPC members to understand the behavior and personality of a squirrel. My hope is this image and title will cause voters to smile. If they frown instead, then I'll receive a lot of DNMC. That's okay. It's a good faith effort and I don't think it's a shoehorn stretch. But, what do I know?
Abert's Squirrel, Sciurus aberti. He is sitting in a Ponderosa Pine in Upper Beaver Meadows.... managing his time.
Great shot on capturing the details on the squirrel. Like the way he is gazing back. Unfortunately, I feel that the shot's concept is rather drifted from the 'oxymoron' theme. This would have been a great shot had it been submitted for something wildlife related.
Cute shot but not getting the title or its oxymoronness... I think the explanatory clause of the title makes it cumbersome and, um, de-oxymoron-izes the, er, oxymoron.
