This little Mama comes on a regular basis and trusts me. However, today she wanted to eat her nuts in peace, so she turned her back on me.
I DID get some good photos but chose this one to share today since I thought it was so funny!
I think I was living by murphy's law today. I did EVERYTHING to try to get her to pose with the flowers, and she was playing hard to get. At one point there were two squirrels, and I scared one away by adding an extra nut on the chair, seconds before I reached my goal. It was quite comical.
I joined 365 Project in September of 2023. I joined mainly to appreciate other's photographs... but hope to revive the amateur photographer in me. My...
@princessicajessica She lives in a tree outside my sliding glass window. I was luring her into my house onto the chair with nuts. My friend's husband works for Animal Control. He doesn't think this is as cute as I do! Haha!
How sweet. We don't have squirrels here but we do have possums and I put food out for them in winter because there is limited food for them. Now they expect to be fed every day. They have got me trained. I do put out fruit for them and sometimes nuts, but we don't want them in the house.
@peekysweets We get a lot of squirrels around, especially on our kitchen (side) porch. One came in uninvited when we first moved in, not long after getting married. It bit through the screen on the kitchen window! I'm glad Chris was home at the time, but I think all three of us were kind of terrified, haha! It's become a funny story from the early days of our marriage.
So happy to see you capture a photo of the squirrel(s) you've said you enjoy at your house, too! I wonder sometimes who is training whom! Have fun setting up your still-life-for-squirrel and wait for said squirrel to arrive!
@onewing You are a kind soul! I usually don't let them in the house... but really wanted some pictures of an autumn colored squirrel with a fall bouquet. :D
@Weezilou She has Chris and I in the palm of her paws, especially Chris, since he is the sweeter one. When she stands up or folds her hands, he can't resist! She was being stubborn, and hiding under the barbeque, knowing I wanted her to jump up to the chair. When I started closing the door, keeping her from preferred snacks, she quickly changed her mind! "Thanks for the "FAV!" Lol!
