My favorite is the second picture although I miss seeing the squirrel. We don't have squirrels here in my country. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it's cute but I was warned that they might bite.

Michelle, Mrs. M, Yes I like the seagull too. I love all birds :) Squirrels actually won't bite unless they feel threatened. They are very friendly out here and used to humans.

Rainfield :D Just call me "nature whisperer"

Bossy. Oh, that is so sweet, thank you and you know I love your blog as well.

Jennifer, thank you so much and I hope your weekend was special as well.

Sandy, thanks so much for visiting and commenting.

Nice assortment of pictures. My favorite is Dominoes. I used to have a cat named Domino, Minnow for short. She was a gray tabby, named after a song my daughter was learning in the chorus, not for her coloring. ~karen

Great critter shots. Love the contrast between the first and second one. The first has a rather fierce look in his eyes while the seagull looks so calm and happy

KaHollly, Thank you and what a sweet story :)

Peaceful, Thanks he doesn't look so happy does he ?

SF, thanks so much for your kind words

Ann, I know huh? seagulls are always so calm and peaceful, this one in particular is a cutie. My friend actually fed him by hand and it was so cool to see.

Jan, LOL! Thank you, I love em all.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
