Strike a Pose

Photos taken Jan 3 and Jan 12 around our Capitol. I don't mind seeing these guys when I'm out and about. Just as long as they stay the heck out of my yard.
A cherished gift from the bread lady.

    So darn cute! We have one that runs along the top of the fence to tease the pooches; I've named him Bratticus.

    There was a red squirrel living in the basement at the cottage when we were there early this month.

    I know they're varmints, but they're still cute. And their antics can be so entertaining. Great shots.

    These little devils are too cute for words -- when they're in a neighbor's yard . . . afraid I've let loose with some choice words when I've caught them digging up my tulip bulbs.

    I love squirrels. I have about 15 that frequent my yard and feeders. I can feed a couple by hand. My daughter calls me "The Nutty Squirrel Lady". Those are brilliant shots Gail!

    They are cute, and indeed are survivors in the urban environment. I greatly enlarged a squirrel eye reflection like the one in your last photo and could see myself holding the camera!(In fact I put the photo in a forthcoming blog post).
