Black Squirrel with Chestnut - Signs of Autumn

Black Squirrel with Chestnut - Signs of Autumn

black squirrel holding a horse chestnut beside our driveway, - what they do is "arrange" the large chestnut so that they can carry it in their mouths the best way possible, - they turn the chestnut until their teeth can grip a softer part of the nut properly, then they rush off to hide the chestnut : )

thanks Tania, that's very sweet of you :) Am going to be up and running soon again, with my desktop (let's hope). Am afraid I've lost quite a lot of photos etc.

Alandra they are all new to me. You have so many wonderful photos I think it would take me a year to look at each one properly. We are all looking forward to you submitting more photos.

thanks both of you, Don and Beverly. I liked the way the light is shining thru his little ears in this shot also : )

Nice job with the squirrel and his nuts. I like his little pink ears.

thanks May, - interesting about the naked grey squirrels also, have never seen those. The black squirrels fur seems so nice and shiny.
