Andrea, Yeah it is. It grows in the botanical gardens. I'll have to jot down the Latin name for it as well. I may go there tomorrow and if I do I'll update this post. Thanks for stopping by.

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.
