STOPS ALONG THE WAY

RED SQUIRREL

30 Comments

Red Squirrels are pretty bold with other squirrels. Although much smaller than the greys they often chase them around. In this case the squirrel stood his ground and kept eating as I took his picture. He never took his eyes off me but didn’t budge either.

    I love squirrels. I don’t know anything about photography, but for what it’s worth, this picture is very pretty. Nice lighting.

    I was just north (Bancroft) earlier this week and they were so plentiful i’s swear every tree had one.

    Beautiful creature. We have only American Greys here now, our Reds have retreated before them. But, notwithstanding, I do have a soft spot for squirrels.

    Cute capture! They are cheeky little rascals, though.

    Red Squirrels were always the ‘trouble makers’ when I lived in New England. Great shot.

    I have discovered Fox Squirrels down in the southern US. Interesting looking, larger, bulky, and dark heads with a mask. Not many around, but I have been trying to photograph one in the woods.

    Squirrels are such characters. Bold and saucy, but oh so sweet.
