Am I not cute?



This little squirrel was rocking, once more, the bird feeder. (Changes planned for the next winter.) I went to tell her, once more, that it's not OK. Instead of escaping immediately, she looked almost as curious about me (or about the camera) as I was about her.





























And, of course,

Mosaic Monday,

from now on a monthly gathering

on the last Monday of each month.






Thank you to all the hosts!

  8. When I was around 10 years old my neighbor found a baby squirrel on the ground and brought to my European father to see if something could be done.. we named him spunky and had him for 2 years what , he lived in our garage and could come and go as he pleased I have such fond memories of him!

    1. Kiitos, Anneli! Tämä orava käyttäytyi tosiaan aika leikkisästi. Yleensä ne näyttäisivät pelkäävän kameran pitkää putkea, mutta tämä oli hyvin kiinnostunut jostain, ja joistakin kuvista tuli epätarkkoja, koska se tuli "liian" lähelle zoomin kannalta. :)

  19. Those are the cutest squirrels I've ever seen! But I am not feeding birds any more, so their greedy ways don't bother me ...I do remember though! (Not this kind if squirrel, but they acted the same.)

  21. Is it acceptable to use an innocent squirrel who may, or may not be a nuisance in the garden as a subject for several link parties? LOL Very clever and a lovely sunset to end your post. I still have the purple hued photo of yours on my phone.

  22. Her ears are so perky - almost like a rabbit's with the way they stick up in the air. She sounds like she's made herself quite at home at your bird feeder.

  25. How very pretty, different to our squirrels, yours has lovely long hairy ears. Maybe you will become friends and could feed her a few nuts? Squirrels are quite a pest here though and one has, I suspect, stolen eggs from a birds nest in my garden this week sadly.

    1. Thank you, Betty!
      If I remember correctly, the ear-tufts belong to the grey winter coat (of the Eurasian red squirrel). We don't usually see them during summer! :)
      They do eat a lot of nuts and sunflower seeds from the bird feeder, which we can accept, but eating eggs of the little birds is far worse.

  34. Squirrels can be so funny can't they with their antics, although I don't like them digging up my garden and the plants I do like watching them swinging around in the trees trying to work out how to get from one place to another. They are very acrobatic animals aren't they. Wonderful photos!!! Thank you for joining Five On Friday again this week, I do so appreciate it and enjoy reading your posts. Hope you have a great weekend! xx

  36. Oh my goodness, that little squirrel is adorable! And, how talented you are to capture these lovely pictures of him. I grew up in an area where we had squirrel and they were always fascinating to watch. The photo of the sunset is so beautiful. I hope you have a beautiful weekend, Pat xx (ps - thank you so much for the kind words you left on my blog)

    1. Kiitos, Teresa!
      Otan useimmat kuvani 55-250 mm linssillä, niin nämäkin. Seisoskelin ison kuusen alla ja välillä oravainen syöksähteli minua kohti. :) Olen vielä rajannut kuvia aika paljon. Useimmat kuvista eivät ole teräviä, mutta postasin ne, koska orava on minusta niin verrattoman hassun näköinen.

  48. haha, I know what you mean -they're little rascals those squirrels - we have a few who thinks we're their neighbors! (unfortunately one of of our neighbors is feeding them peanuts:( ) One of them, just looks like this one, except for the ears (when I post one in May, you'll see) - didn't think there could be so much difference!
    Many thanks for adding this post to SEASONS - love your enthusiasm for it! Have a great week and see you soon!

  50. Squirrels are soon cute ! :) Söpöjä katsella, mutta osaavat myös tehdä tuhojaan.
    Kaverilla oli parvekkeella tuulettumassa untuvatakki... no, lyhyesti sanottuna
    kurre kävi siitä repimässä täytteitä. Mutta silti, ne on niiiiin söpöjä.

  57. Sometimes discussion is of little use other than it makes us feel that we have at least tried. The squirrel always wins. Wonderful photos.
