Meet Billy the Squilly... sunning himself on my deck railings on one of the first above freezing sunny mornings for a long time. He's enjoying the warmth of the sun through his furry coat and through the wooden railing.
The cheeky chap's hoping for a yummy handout, better luck next time, Billy, nothing to spare today.
...I had never seem squirrels like this until I Travelled to Ottawa for the tulip festival. We have plenty of gray was at out bird feeders.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, he's so cute!
ReplyDeleteWe have a couple squirrwla in the trees in our front yard. Tanya feeds them on the front deck railing. Sometimes Lucky will bark at them and sometimes he just watches them
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of the Billy the squilly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you "looking at the weeds with a cuppa tea" was the best answer to my back. I did pull a few and thought oh my aching back. Doing it another day...

Perhaps it's the camera angle, but that squirrel looks unnervingly large.
ReplyDeleteWe grow them Jumbo size here.
DeleteWe have one that comes to the window sill and sits patiently until we deliver food. He ( or she) has us firmly under control!
ReplyDeleteSmart creatures!
DeleteSuch a cute portrait!
ReplyDeleteHe's a cute little fellow. Reminds me of my childhood. There was a squirrel who visited our porch on winter mornings back in Illinois where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if feeding is good around the neighbourhood. In the park near where my grandkid lives, everyone feeds them. There should be a diet posted on every tree.
ReplyDeleteNow my daughter and family seem to have a nest of the dear little monsters in their roof and, this being Canada, the rules for squirrel removal require that the babies be allowed to grow and leave the nest before it is removed.
And, wait for it, the removal folk are going to have to cut holes in the bedroom ceiling to get the nest out.
Yikes.
Kay of Musings: Wow! That is the fluffiest, furriest squirrel I’ve seen in a long time and I’ve seen a lot of squirrels. 😁
