You have nailed this challenge on many different levels. I canĂ¢€™t find anything negative to say about it. Definite ribbon entry.

Too cute! and tulips are apparently irresistable to wildlife. Nice composition, too.

WENDY .. !!!!!! .. I'M DYING .. LOL .. !!!
so endearing .. we dont have anything approaching the cuteness here .. or anything that you can get close to ..
to have these cute little critters just hanging around .. i'm so jealous ..
it seems like you must be like a squirrel whisperer ..
this is the cutest thing i've seen all day .. and i voted and commented in the baby animals .. !!

my only thought is that ppl could vote you down as it could be seen as more about the squirrel than flowers ..
but to me it totally fits the challenge .. and i would probably have given you a 9 for this .. and probably a 7 for the columbine .. depending on the other entries .. cant get past the incredible cuteness of this .. and that perfect moment you have caught ..
its a more subtle approach to a flower challenge ... which is what i particularly love about this .. its not in your face ..
love your title too .. stop and smell the roses .. hahahahaha .. so funny ..
this has character which most flower photos do not ..

but this to me is ribbon material ..

but what do i know .. !! ... those voters are a crazy bunch .. lol .. ;)
