Summer in the city

Squirrel trying to cool down. The ambient temperature was 105° yesterday and the heat index set an all time record in San Antonio at 117°

LOL! I have never seen a squirrel in this position. Splendid shot!

[Corinne C]

Lol, poor little thing. I’m afraid more hot days are ahead, summer has just started

[Karen]

That squirrel looks pooped! Fantastic and humorous capture.

I totally understand how the heat-battered squirrel feels in that type of weather, though - and you too, no doubt - those are pretty high temps you’re hitting there. That 117F converts to 47C - that is just absolutely incredibly hot!

What a great capture. Love it!

[Dawn]

A fabulous capture

[Paula Fontanini]

Perfectly timed and composed! Poor thing....117 has got to be unbearable for every living creature. I hope you get a break from the heat soon!

[Diana]

Such a magnificent capture of this poor little critter!

[Kim]

Wow! Must be hot to slow down the squirrels!! Great story telling.

[Matthew Walker]

Nice! 5 minutes outside in that, and I wanted to do the same thing, only indoors!

[Joan Robillard]

Poor baby

Poor thing

[Joanne Diochon]

Wow, he looks totally tuckered out.

[Wylie]

baked squirrel!

Fabulous shot. Poor squirrel, his fur coat is too thick to withstand the heat. My daughter's Corgi dog is like him; when I take him out for a short walk he returns home panting and lies down like this squirrel on the cool tiled floor in front of the fan. Now it's time to keep the air-conditioning on all day long just for him.

LOL- chillin'

[Renee Salamon]

Flat out 😉
