In the winter, it’s a 10-minute walk through deep snow, so I took a big cardboard box, attached it to a skid board, and balanced everything on it. The plan was to make myself an outdoor studio on the porch of the cabin, and so I did! Share icon Share icon Share icon

First there were some small birds!

And eventually squirrels came, but they just sat on the ground and ate :-/

So I had to go out to clean a bit, and only have nuts on the table. But now they knew where to get food! And then they came up to the table completely voluntarily!

This took me a few days, as I had to try and fail a bit. I learned how the squirrels behaved and which way they used to go, so I could plan how to put the little shopping cart. But when I had packed up, not one squirrel wanted to leave. It scuttled around there..

So I wonder if I really needed camouflage – it probably knew I was there all along!
