You may notice that this first squirrel has such a kind and inviting look on his face. Whenever the squirrels would see me come close they would stand up on their hind legs and put on their friendliest faces, hoping I would give them a treat.
Unfortunately, I don't carry squirrel treats with me. I'm not even sure what a squirrel treat might be. I think they're something like Scooby Snacks, but I'm not sure about that. Maybe I could invent them. I wonder how much money a person could make selling Squirrel Treats. Would the big supermarket chains want to sell them? No, I didn't think so either.
This shows how confident these squirrels are around humans. There are people everywhere in this park, but the squirrels mostly don't run from them at all, or even care. These squirrels seem as tame as cats. Of course, no cat is truly tame, and neither are these squirrels. Cats look at us as friends, not owners. These squirrels are not quite even to that point.
There you are. I hope you enjoyed these squirrels. And I hope I get to go back to that place one day.

You got some really nice pictures of the squirrels.
ReplyDeleteI always liked squirrels, they are so much fun to watch! My dog likes watching them too! Such cute and energetic little creatures they are!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting cast of characters. A gal I used to work with would try to see young squirrels. She must have seen one at some point, because she then became obsessed with trying to see a baby crow. One of the guys had told there was no such thing. She was determined to prove him wrong. She didn't. He would only laugh about the whole matter.
ReplyDeleteI did notice that one lying down. That seems really odd to me. These squirrels have no concern at all. Wonder what they would do if a dog came around.
ReplyDeletei find it cute too to see squirrels standing and seems like to wait for something :) you have great shots of them.
ReplyDeleteDon't disturb that guy, the squirrel enjoys sunbathing like us too.
ReplyDeleteYep! That guy is a big one. I have those around here too but try not to show them..LOL In fact I have a deformed one that I've never posted. I feel sorry for him.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it kind of bugs me that people give those begging squirrels treats because begging does not work here! When the humans eat, we cats beg, cajole and even poke the humans and we get nothing! So squirrels get treats and we don't. There is something wrong with this picture.
ReplyDeleteLoving these pics, they really seem to have their very own personalities & squirrely character. Just posted yesterday about quadruplet baby red squirrels that befriended us while camping, you might appreciate the twist in the story. Check it out & I'd love if you'd follow me too! http://frog-in-pocket.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteYou getting closer and closer everyday to the squirrels Ratty.
ReplyDeleteNext time I know you have a portrait shot of them.
I think they should give you a squirrel friendly badge :)
Those are very nice set of pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet and friendly squirrels....I always want to have treats for them, too. I guess I need to look on google and see if there's a site that recommends something healthy for these cute critters. Nice pictures, Ratty.
ReplyDeleteOh... it does look so friendly... so cute.
