A lovely walk through the gardens today. I see the wildlife is out to greet us as well. Love the shot of the squirrel and the bird.

What a peaceful place, no people, no rush, just cute little animals. Little squirrels always find something to crunch.
What is that interesting shaped flower/plant. It is so neat!

Ann, you know I've got to get some critter shots :)

Betty, glad you had fun.

Beatriz, nice meeting you and thanks for visiting.

Maia, that is called a Banksia Speciosa or Showy Banksia. It hails from South Africa, I believe and they are all over the gardens right now.

Joanna, we are having record heat here these past few days. Thanks for commenting.

That Banksia flower looks so interesting. It kind of reminds me of a corn on a cob.

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.
