The
neighborhood squirrels were taking advantage of a break in cold weather to raid the compost
heap.
After
a snack of carrot peels and chunks of celery stalks it's time to stroll along the
fence.
Down
to the brace.
A
quick scuttle.
Spring
to the top of a post.
Check
the area for any danger, such as evil crows, and then down again.
Hanging
on with all ten toes when the going gets slick.
A
drift of snow in the way.
Time
to jump up again.
OOOoops! Lost traction and the leap went wrong.
“I’m
okay.”
Second
try brought him to the last fence post with the flag pole and the solar light.
Down
again to cross the snow covered hedge.
A
scramble to our front step. (The little
pink specs are ice-melt to take the edge off the slickness)
A
quick dash from one car to the next.
Another
check for danger.
Then
on out of view to meet up with another squirrel friend to chow down on scraps
under the bird feeder.

Little guy has a lovely winter fur coat.
Nice documentation. Around here the compost piles are frozen solid.
You got him "dead to rights," didn't you. The first picture shows a think winter pelt on him.
Pretty cute for a rat with a fluffy tail.
Good gravy, how on earth did you get all those photos??
Carla: A Nikon with a zoom lens handy when I was looking for an excuse to procrastinate.
I always like to watch squirrels! ALWAYS!!!

Under the bird feeder? I'm surprised he didn't find a way to get into the bird feeder!
THere's something about the scurrying of a squirrel in the dead of winter to give one hope!
