  1. Someone beautiful came for the snacks

    I’m not sure how long she was there. I was reading my book. I think she drank from my “critter” water bowl before I looked up. What a gorgeous young doe. I hope she ate some of the corn, seeds, fruits & nuts I am endlessly giving the others.

  3. Already posted in repsonse to the person who made me aware of #SquirrelSaturday but here's the #squirrel again for others who're interested. Where I live we only have the #redsquirrel. This is a screenshot of a 2012 #photograph I took of a rare #albinosquirrel in #Southsea where they have #greysquirrels so I assume that this one is grey with a lack of melanin. I often risked being late for work trying to spot it to get a #picture.

  4. I spotted a grey squirrel in Jesmond Dene!

    As Lucya Starza notes, until the medieval period, people believed squirrels (albeit red ones) could travel the length of the country through the Wildwood without touching the ground.

    Grey squirrels arrived in England from North America in 1876.

    In needlework, squirrels represent mischief. Some writers link them with the fleet-footed trickster, Hermes/Mercury.

  6. Animals leave signs, messages, and riddles all over the place for us to read. On today's hike I found these two different styles of opening acorns.
    The acorn on the left was opened by a mouse. Mice typically gnaw a round hole on one end.
    The acorn on the right was opened by a California gray squirrel. Squirrels shell acorns lengthwise.
