The woods in winter are quiet; the only sounds are my boots on the snow and the wind in the trees. I wasn’t alone though, as I looked up I saw this squirrel looking down at me.

I’ve never seen a black squirrel. Quite remarkable to the white snow. 🙂

They really do stand out in the winter and are less wary than usual. Always looking to be fed.

Maybe some didn’t quite hoard their stashes beforehand. 🙂

What a beautiful squirrel! Are black squirrels rare up your way? They are for us at home, I know one town neighborhood area where the community protects them from human exposure and photographers. I’ve yet to get a photo of one, so I’ll enjoy yours!!

I have to agree, he is good looking 😊. We see more black squirrels than the grey variety here although they’re not common elsewhere. Thanks, Donna!

Black squirrels are special (as are black cats), and I know there’s one in northern Minnesota wondering where I have been this year. I have high hopes to catch up with him this coming year, but we’ll see how that goes. Love the frosty dots in his whiskers and fur.
