“Yes?”

“What are you looking at?”

“Well?”

Got food in my mouth, can’t talk.

This squirrel is hand-fed by someone. I walked right up to it, camera clicking. Eastern Fox squirrel, not even a native creature (and for that I should resent it, but who can resist those eyes?), nibbling on something it purloined from the tree it is sitting in.

Looking at the photos, I am betting this is a female with young somewhere. Sure looks like she has teats.

I love the details of her fur: the grey-mottled-brown. The black-tipped tail. The feathered ears. She never made a sound, but her tail was communicating the entire time I was walking up to her, taking photos.

And that is the photo of the day.
