Lunchtime


This black squirrel looks so innocent as it eats a seed from a Maple tree but they can be real pests in the garden as they dig about looking for things and also as they harvest your fruit and veggies before you can. I have given up growing strawberries as I never got any.

  1. I happen to be quite fond of squirrels. It probably helps that I'm not a gardener.

  2. While these squirrels may be a pest in the garden, they sure are cute, and you shot an excellent portrait of this one having a bite of lunch.

  13. At times when they are cute... then there are times when they are very destructive.

  14. Pity they can't read. You could grow some strawberries especially for them and tell them to keep off the rest!
