Camera Critters - Squirrels & Frosted Flakes
While visiting my squirrel diva buddies at the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, I always try and bring them a healthy treat. This particular day I decided to surprise them with one of my favorite cereals, Frosted Flakes, sans milk. It is very amusing watching the behavior of these little critters. I placed a pile of the flakes on the ground and they would pick out one flake and prance away over to a bench, up a tree or just a few feet away from the pile. They'd munch on that flake until it was gone then - return and repeat. It is so cute to watch them even though we are not supposed to feed them anything. When they beg, my heart melts and I have to comply.

ruthi, how cute :)
Love you site!
I didn't have anything to feed the ones in my pictures. Even if I had had anything I wouldn't have dared because the locals looked like they wanted to kill tourists that fed the squirrels.
Great shots.

My Camera Critters
I enlargened the picture as big as it would go because I was drawn by his large eyes...and I think I could see the reflection of you there, taking the picture! Take a look...LOL.
rainfiled, I love them, they're my little buddies.
Ratty, I usually give them either nuts or Ritz Crackers with peanut butter though I wanted to test the flakes. I'm sure though that sugar is not good for them on a regular basis :)
LD, :) it is interesting how they go about eating. I would love to see bluejays in my yard.
TR, thank you so much :)
cat, I don't know why everyone is against feeding them. There are signs all over the botanical gardens stating not to feed them. Or course I never read signs :D
jabblog, They run after me when they see me. I don't know if it's because they remember me or because they see me with a camera :D
Iowa, LOL! :D Thanks.
Zuzanna, thank you for visiting and for your kind words.
Cheryl, :D that could very well be, cute.
teresa, I've heard that from many people. Thanks for visiting.
Snap, I like that, little garbage disposals :D
Denise, I usually bring nuts or Ritz crackers with peanut butter. I didn't have anything but cereal this time and it seemed like they love it. However, I don't have any for myself now :D
Chub, one of my favorite cereals too.
Nikki, he may be on vacation :D Thanks.
Sironade, Thank you. I love visiting them.
Elizabeth, LOL! I did enlarge it and look thru his eyes, yep, there I am - hilarious!!!
