Wildlife Wednesday – Napping Squirrel

IMG_3370This is the only napping squirrel I’ve ever seen.
I’m glad it chose to nap in a tree within my line of sight.
I smile each time I look at this photo. I think it’s so cute.

Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!

Foxy Wildlife Wednesday


The other day I was trying to take photos of a bird through our bathroom window. I happened to notice movement in our garden, but it’s too far away to make out what it was. I feared it was a ground hog. I zoomed in and started taking photos of what I thought was a baby ground hog. The photos were blurry but still I kept trying. Then the critter started to come further out in the yard and I saw it was a squirrel.  I didn’t recognize the species though. After it disappeared into the woods, I looked it up on the internet and discovered that it’s a Fox Squirrel.  I was so excited. That’s so neat. I didn’t realize we had them around here.

I wanted to share my fox squirrel with you all, so I took the best of the photos of it and tinkered with them in Photoscape. I think they turned out well enough for you to see what a charming critter it is. 🙂

Wishing you all a charming rest of the week.
