A curious squirrel sizes up her ant colleague on our back patio:

She later strikes a pose before leaping back into the pecan tree:

Photos shot through window and door glass, no flash, low light, with handheld zoom...hence the less than wonderful quality. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Well, actually, this one is full grown, but I know what you mean. ;-)

Very cute! We need to introduce your squirrel to ours - ours enjoys taunting Cassi and will run back and forth on the deck railing and then take off for the chase. One of these days Cassi is gonna catch on and then I don't know what Squirrley Boy is gonna do, but until then, it's kinda funny.

Wait... who drove the nails into her hindquarters?

Beth, our squirrels seems to be content to sit in the tree and chatter at Abbye. I guess they've figured out that there's not much sport in trying to tempt a blind dog into a chase.

Foo, please don't tell the SPCA!
