I can't show you the entire picture I took, as we can only post 25kb size, but this squirrel sat up in the tree outside my window eating the berries that were left on the tree. He saw me but that didn't bother him, he just kept on eating and seemed not to mind my taking several pictures of him. He was really beautiful! So here's a shot of his sweet little face.

Really very nice one, I think in a full shot he looks more nice. Yeah, when are more hungry and just started to eat never bother them about such activities, taking picture. Though thee didn't know exactly what you were doing but it understood that you are trying to disturbe him. So sweet squirrel!

I love squirrels! When I was small my dad used to hunt them and we ate them as we were quite poor and depended on his hunting for a lot of our food. I'm glad I no longer have to eat them but can just watch and enjoy them!

Beautiful! There's something magical about watching wild animals, particularly in an urban setting.
I'm really enjoying watching the wild birds just now. I keep chickens, so the birds like to come down and pinch the chicken food. They tend to be little birds, so lovely to watch.

Your Visitor is cute. Thanks for sharing him with us. We used to have one that used to come up on our Balcony and eat off of it, etc. but I think the cats scared them all away so you never see any here. But this is Cool that you were able to take pictures of the squirrel and he seemed to not mind either.

I'm very friendly to all the animals around here. I've probably chittered at this one or spoken to him during the summer! I talk to animals more than I do people! 
So he might remember that I'm no threat. He may even be the one that I saved from my dog, Cookie, giving him a chance to escape that he wouldn't have had otherwise!

Awww,this sounds so cute and nice.We have squirells in our house and they sometimes go in and steal stuff and once they stole my breakfast-a sandwich and after 10 minutes I saw my cat eating it.Nobody minds them because they are cute and they are not very noisy but stealing food is starting to turn into their hobby.Happy MyLotting!

That's funny! Maybe your cat and the squirrels are in cahoots!

Aww how sweet. They are fun to watch. We rescued two baby squirrels one time. Their mama could not be found and somehow they managed to get inside our house. We captured them and turned them over to a rescue specialist in our area so that they could be raised and released back into the wild. They were so cute though it was hard to give them up.

I'm so glad you saved those squirrels, poor little things. I don't think I've ever seen a baby squirrel, I imagine they are just unbearably cute and adorable!

So cute. My mom has a squirrel that lives in and around their yard that she creatively named 'Mr. Squirrel'. He is really neat to watch. We had one a few years ago that was hanging around our place so I started leaving peanuts out for him. I thought he might stick around but he was run over by a car just down the street :(

What a shame! People shouldn't be in such a hurry. I love to watch the squirrels!
