Don't Feed The Squirrels
All photos taken at the Botanical Gardens. Funny thing is, everyone feeds the squirrels, it's one of the highlights of hanging out at the gardens.
Music in Nature - Contest Winners
First I want to thank all of the people who entered this contest. It was amazing to see all of the creative talent out there. It was also a very difficult decision and as a result there are seven winners total. One grand prize winner, one runner up and five honorable mentions. The grand prize goes to Glynis Smyfor her poem - Symphony of Life. Glynis has graciously asked that the $10.00 cash and CD dollar equivalent be donated to my favorite charity. So I have in her name donated to the Dorothy Olivieri Memorial fund benefiting the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital the amount of $25.00. As a result of her kind gesture, she will receive 1000 Entrecard credits. Thank you Glynis.
Symphony of Life by Glynis SmyCrystal sound, echo notes of beauty,Listen...soft, gentle singing of the rain,A chorus flows to quench the thirst,Give life to Mother Earth.A crescendo of cymbals!Crash! Electric starslight the stormy sky.Then-turn the page...And Jazz surrounds me,Skipping to the song …

They who were found over here are so alert and move away very fast before I get closer.

Autumn, They are and no one is supposed to feed them but everyone does.
Michelle, They can be if you are aggressive with them or chase them etc... however, here in our parks they are very docile and interact very well with humans. As long as you treat them well, they do the same.
RoseBelle, they normally do not attack unless they feel threatened. They will come near you waiting for food and when they realize you don't have food they will leave. They are extremely friendly and interact with us humans here all the time. I've seen people not just throwing food at them but actually feeding them, it's adorable.
Prairie, they are little divas here as I call them. They actually do pose for photos, all the time. I have never visited Butchart Gardens and would love to at some point in time.
Squirrel, I agree, they are these most friendly animals here that I've seen. They interact with everyone and if they know you don't have food they leave, unless of course, they are posing for the cameras :D
