While I have been trying to expand the type of images I post, I continue to work with my guys. They have become my happy place, and they are helping me write a book.
I realize squirrels aren't everyone's cup of tea, especially when I have had posts about squirrel stew, shooting them, and collecting their tails! So, understanding that I have limited my posts, hence the "warning"
It's been an interesting journey with these guys, as some will pose for me with no peanuts involved. You will also see some will do encore performances, as with the fungus shoot. I have found them to be very intelligent and quite comical, as you can see when they try and take multiple nuts! In addition, I continue to follow the babies as they are growing up quickly. As a thank you I continue to leave a peanut in their tree hole, and each time I come back, it's gone
So, for those who enjoy the cute squirrels, here are a few!
Nice images and I agree squirrels are amusing. I have several in my yard, and I photograph them quite often.
You have taught them to pose quite nicely.
I like squirrels!! So cute and so sharp!!
Fun set! I see Trendy is still around.

It's funny, isn't it? She was just sitting on this electrical vent, and when I spotted her, I started chatting. She gave me five different poses. In return, I praised her and tossed her some peanuts. This is not the first time this has happened!

Thanks for recognizing her! I've seen her around a few times, but she's been a bit skittish. She keeps moving to different areas.
I think that being known as the Squirrel Lady is preferable to being known as a Cat Lady (LOL).
Very nice, Barb! And all this time I was thinking Trendy was a girl! As for the fungus seat, as comfortable as a King's throne and a much better view! And I agree with Mike about the Cat Lady thing!

Oh, ouch! Not a cat person huh? That's OK! I'm equal opportunity and come by just about any name!
