Featuring a male squirrel's well-intention but rather misdirected attempt at courting, this charming picture catches a moment of pure romantic comedy in the animal realm. Though it's obviously not the customary Valentine's Day flower one would expect, the picture shows our determined romeo clutching what he presumably feels to be the ideal token of love. The photographer has caught the sincerity of the squirrel's gesture as well as the natural humour in his choice of 'flower.'" The way the tiny creature holds his selected gift—with what seems to be perfect conviction in his romantic approach—makes for a funny and heartwarming sight. Though he chose an unusual courtship present, his effort is clearly appealing and makes us all pull for this small romantic.
