Just Checking Things Out


Normally at this time of year the squirrels would be snuffling about in the snow looking for things that they may have buried in the fall but this year with no snow on the ground in February they can really check things out. This growth of periwinkle looked like a prime spot to find some food so this squirrel with the fluffy tail was really having a good poke about.

I always enjoy seeing your Black squirrels. They have had a mild winter, so they should be happy.

I was talking with some squirrels earlier. They expressed great jealousy of their Toronto counterparts.

LOL, yes, I wonder if our Peanut finds all the walnuts he buried!!
P.S. I am sorry blogger eats up your comments!!!
Maybe try Name/link? I do this a lot as blogger detects I'm in Australia and bugs me, too....
Maybe that's why your comments get eaten up as well?
Also my German e-mail-provider wants a security-check....
