Camera Critters #126 - I'm Feeling Squirrely - September 4, 2010


Camera Critters #126 - I'm Feeling Squirrely - September 4, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, my dear friend, Joanne Olivieri who has a fantastic blog,
Poetic Shutterbug, took me to her regular haunt, the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
We spent several hours there taking pictures of the flowers, bees, ducks, Canadian
geese squirrels and other creatures that passed our way.

The squirrels were in rare form, following us fearlessly for handouts.  There were a
couple that, I truly believe, kept up with us until we finally put our cameras away and
headed home. 

I'm posting a few of the pictures I took and am dedicating this post to my friend, Ratty
( he chose to call himself this ) who has a wonderful nature blog called, The Everyday Adventurer.  I think he really is a squirrel whisperer.  He gets the most fantastic
squirrel photographs and, somehow, in his part of the country, he seems to get
different varieties of squirrels - black ones, fox squirrels, as well as eastern gray
squirrels which are the ones in my photographs.


Am I posing nicely?


This is yummy!


See, I'm not afraid of that lady at all!


Look at all the plants!  This is the Botanical Garden, after all.


I think this is my better side.


I have to make sure those other guys keep away from the food!
