You Say You Like Squirrels... by Weezilou

You Say You Like Squirrels...

When I protested that I haven't photographed much variety recently but for flowers, cats and squirrels, it was Helene who first shot me a comment that you all still love squirrels. I checked the tag, and sure enough, they certainly are popular subjects! We still take our morning walks in a nearby park, and I'm not lying when I tell you they come running up to us for a handout. Since we began feeding them last year, we've encountered a number of walkers with bags of nuts for them also. It's been an interesting way to meet like-minded people, but I haven't seen anyone else photographing them. Such a pity, for they're engaging little animals. And they don't protest having their picture taken as my cat does!
Hurray!!! All's right with 365 when Louise is here with a squirrel! :-))

@Weezilou merci Louise! it's a really great & cute picture and a fav :-)

We definatley still love them! The little varmints are ever so entertaining!
April 19th, 2011  
Such a great close up! Personally, I can never get enough squirrels, and after all those snowy shots, nobody's posted any for ages! This one looks like she's nursing..?
April 19th, 2011  
It's like you've never been away! Great shot.
April 19th, 2011  
Squirrels are always great subjects,Very nice!

Good to see and hear you again (and your squirrels!)
April 19th, 2011  
Louise, somehow I knew you would come through. We are always happy to see you stop by, and we always welcome a photo of squirrels. Glad to hear all is well with the family, and we are eager to see an updated photo or two, or three of the Grandbaby. Didn't mean to stir up things and bring you out of your quiet time, but we were all curious to know you were all doing well, after all, you have been one of our favorites here on 365 for quite some time. Thanks for the update.

They are unbelievably adorable critters, even if they can be unbelievably annoying.

I have now discovered that I like taking pictures of squirrels too!
April 19th, 2011  
@mrssmith A small investment in roasted peanuts reaps big rewards! SO nice to see you again!
April 19th, 2011  
Aw, what a cutie! And so nice of you, and others, to feed them :).

Really cute shot

Great shot!
April 20th, 2011  
I was just at the park this weekend with peanuts (inspired by you)...great squirrel shot!
April 20th, 2011  
This is a brilliant shot - so clear of the squirrel and lovely perspective reaching far into the distance.
April 21st, 2011  
Yup they are brilliant to photograph aren't they?
April 21st, 2011  
Hey!! So lovely to see you uploading photos! What a cute squirrel! You know, it almost looks like it might be a nursing momma squirrel. I don't think I have any good photos of them, aside from a little black baby squirrel last summer.
April 21st, 2011  
Love his furry little tummy - here's one for you http://365project.org/islawight/365-2011/2011-04-04
April 21st, 2011  
way hey! you're back Lou. Thanks for passing through...im sure all the community welcome your generous comments!
April 22nd, 2011  
Didn't know you were back online until I talked to Allison today! That was happy news! So how are you and Clark doing? Has life settled down some since (what seemed like) your world tour?

How is that new grandbaby doing? 6 weeks ago, Anna Grace joined my little grandson, Thomas http://365project.org/hwy61/365-2011/2011-03-09 and http://365project.org/hwy61/365-2011/2011-03-18 and so now I have 2 sweet little grands! http://365project.org/hwy61/365-2011/2011-03-19 Unfortunately she spent 4 days back in the hospital last week http://365project.org/hwy61/365-2011/2011-04-17 but now is back home and doing well!

Feel free to shamelessly share a few of your photos with me, too!!!
April 22nd, 2011  
Welcome back! You have some well fed critters over there! LOL
April 22nd, 2011  
So good to hear from you Louise! I haven't been on 365 for awhile now. I think I was actually a little depressed when I finished the project. I missed everyone on the site and I still do. I've just been so busy with work and life that I haven't been able to get back in the swing of things. I look back now and I can't believe I lasted a whole year.
I hope that you and Ken are doing well. I've been seeing all the photos of your adorable grandson on facebook. He is the cutest little guy!
I love this photo Louise! I swear I will never not think of you when I see a squirrel...lol...and since I see them just about everyday...you're always in my thoughts : )
April 22nd, 2011  
He looks like he is quite chubby.
April 22nd, 2011  
absolutley adorable!!!! its been so long Louise :) I'm glad to see another squirrel shot from you :)
April 22nd, 2011  
Such an adorable shot!! me and my squirrels still have a ong way to go, but I believe that with enough nuts everything is possible!! :-)
April 23rd, 2011  
It a favorite of mine to feed the squirrels peanuts at the park. They are so eager to get them and you usually have time to snap a picture too.
April 25th, 2011  
Love the hands!
April 27th, 2011  
I love them! And this is adorable!
