A seldom visitor

on the golf course. Fortunately Katja spotted this little critter while we were waiting for hubby Harry.

It is so dry here atm that the trees are losing their leaves and there are so many fires all over.

[Corinne C]

A wonderful composition.
So sad to hear about the fire.

[Dawn]

A lovely shot , hoping the fires aren’t close to your home

[Merrelyn]

Sweet capture. Fires are always a worry at this time of year. Stay safe. We finally have a bit of respite from the heat.

[Christine Sztukowski]

I'm so Scotty for all the files, I love this squirrels fluffy tail

[Linda Godwin]

The squirrels probably even have a hard time in the harsh air and heat.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Delightful capture

[Beverley]

Such a pretty shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Cute capture. I love his tail.

[Mags]

Oh! So cute!

[Susan Wakely]

Cute squirrel. The pesky critters are a bit frisky in our garden at the moment.
Sorry to hear about the fires.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Beryl Lloyd]

[Michelle]

Such a cute face, lovely capture

[Cordiander]

So cute. I love these small animals.

[Louise & Ken]

Tragic to hear about all the fires; we know the situation well here in California! Our squirrels are so commonplace, our "Mile Square Park" with walking paths, lakes and 2 golf courses is filled with them! Ken said that, when golfing, it's not unusual to find a squirrel trying to get into the golf bag or cart!

[Olwynne]

So cute. Hope he survives the fires

[Carole Sandford]

Love the composition! Sorry to hear about the fires.

[Rob Z]

What a fabulously cute image..

[haskar]

Lovely composition and tone. This is how we changed the climate. Now it's cold and wet, and in 5 months there will be heat and drought.

[Paula Fontanini]

So sweet animal and a beautiful nature photo! I hope you get some rain soon!

[Heather]

A really beautiful shot, Diana! I love the colour tones of the squirrel and the tree trunk and (sadly) the dry leaves in the background. Great focus, too! Fav

[katy]

A very unusual animal shot for you, but it is absolutely perfect FAV

I remember a few years ago when you had some severe fires. I hope it’s not that bad for you this year.

[Glover Shearron, Jr.]

Cute. That tail reminds me of a bad combover for a semi-bald dude!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great detail- every hair stands out. So sorry to hear about the extreme weather and fires. Hopefully that will improve soon.

[Bill]

Very cute shot.

[Rick]

Cute little guy. Great shot.

[judith deacon]

A lovely little guy. Sorry to hear about the fires, it is becoming a regular southern hemisphere, and southern Europe phenomena unfortunately.

[Diana]

@grammyn Thanks Katy, so far it is just normal veld fires and no mountain fires. Last time there were quite a few wine estates battling fires the whole summer. Keeping fingers crossed xx
