Hungry Squirrel

 

It is hard to see but this squirrel has a mouth full of blossoms from the Elm tree behind our place. The squirrels have been feasting on these blossoms for a couple of weeks now so they must taste really good.

Your black squirrels are cute. Hope they don't eat all the blooms on this Elm tree. My squirrels have been eating my lilac blossoms.

They must be rather tasty for this little fellow.

The blossoms must be tasty.

I didn't realise they ate blossom. Your squirrels are very black compared to ours.

Flowers are part of their balanced diet, I suppose. It has an impressive tail.
