These photos were taken within a few days of each other. The brown hues of late fall turned to a white snowscape very quickly this month. These eastern grey squirrels are sporting thick coats and look alert and well fed as they make their rounds of the park. At times you get the sense that you’re being watched as you walk along the trail. Chances are it’s one of these squirrels, as they’re everywhere you look.

Wauwie, super super. So cute and it looks a bit fat, but that will be the wintercoat …

I like the second one the most.. the fanned out tail, the way he is holding his feet, looks like he is wearing mittens. 🙂

We recently spent a few days in Somerset West in the Western Cape and was struck by the number of grey squirrels – an invasive species introduced to South Africa by Cecil John Rhodes – scampering up and down the oak trees and scurrying across the roads.
