Now that’s a relaxed squirrel

by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

very relaxed squirrel snacking

There’s nothing like lying down with a snack. Obviously squirrels like doing this too!

I think this is some kind of red squirrel.

It’s not one that we have around here in Ontario though! Actually I think red squirrels are either very rare or extinct in this area.

We don’t even see all that many grey squirrels, the area is mostly populated with black squirrels.

Don’t you love this squirrels ears?

    That’s a riot!! I just don’t imagine squirrels relaxing. They’re usually so amped out! Great shot. 😀

    Oh man, that is just the cutest little thing. Great shot! Wish we had some of them around here in South Africa. Now I feel like stretching out in the sun in a comfy hammock or something. Alas, work is waiting…

    What a neat shot, what type of lens did you use to get this? I love red squirrels and they are rare anywhere!

    Happy WW and Happy Thanksgiving!

    That is an unique shot of a squirrel. It reminds me of our dog when she has a nice bone to chew. Happy WW and Happy Thanksgiving!

    I visited Canada when i was a child and brought back the vision of black squirrels , even now 20 20 years latter i still meet people who think I am making fun of them by trying convince them of the black squirrels.

    I love your photo I have never seen a squirrel of that color before.

    I know that I love to lay down with a snack…wonder is he watching TV. That is what I always do. LOL, great pic! I had to see it after reading the squirrel being fed by the human mouth pic and you mentioned this one here.

    Sweet!
