SKETCHBOOK 73 – FORGOTTEN SQUIRRELS

Apparently, I never got around to posting this particular squirrel as he nests happily in his tree. I drew two squirrels that day, so here are both of them. The second one is a favorite of mine, not because of the great artistic technique but because he's such a cutie. I showed this one before … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 73 – FORGOTTEN SQUIRRELS

SKETCHBOOK 64 – THREE GOLDFINCH AND A STORY

CRAZY SQUIRRELS AND PUSHY DOVES There's a lot going on in and around our deck. The squirrels are freaking out, the doves are pushing smaller birds out of the way (doves? really?), and I'm pretty sure raccoons and flying squirrels are hitting the feeders after the lights are out. First, the picture: I fill one … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 64 – THREE GOLDFINCH AND A STORY

SQUIRRELS

Some of my cuter and more athletic squirrels demanded a viewing, so here they are!

SKETCHBOOK 67 – THE ACROBATIC SQUIRREL

It's amazing some of the things we see our squirrels doing out there. They are incredibly agile, which probably explains their big spidery feet. They do a lot of clinging to tiny little branches that you wouldn't think would be sturdy enough to hold a bird, much less a squirrel. This is not a half-bad … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 67 – THE ACROBATIC SQUIRREL

SKETCHBOOK 65 – SQUIRRELS AND MAYBE A PROJECT

The excitement never ends here at the edge of the woods. Yesterday, it was freaked-out squirrels and chubby doves. Overnight? The raccoons have learned how to move the feeders back towards the deck. This brings an end to suet for a while because those clever devil raccoons have figured out how to get what they … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 65 – SQUIRRELS AND MAYBE A PROJECT

A SUDDEN EMERGENCE OF SQUIRRELS …

I have mentioned that about three months ago, our squirrels vanished. From having a pre-dawn invasion of dozens of mostly red squirrels to not seeing a single squirrel, grey or red. It took me a couple of weeks to realize there were no squirrels to be seen. Not on the deck or in the trees. … Continue reading A SUDDEN EMERGENCE OF SQUIRRELS …

CRITTERS

Nature Photo Challenge #28: Wild animals It's not that we don't have other critters near us. We have more, including coyotes, bobcats, fishers, raccoons, flying squirrels, rabbits, and a variety of lizards and snakes. I never seem to have a camera at hand when I see them. It's frustrating. We did, however, have a field … Continue reading CRITTERS

PHOTOS OF THE WEEK – FLOWERS, BIRDS & MORE

This hasn't been one of my "good" days, but yesterday I processed a lot of pictures, so here are the birds. Also, please enjoy the squirrel proving how squirrel-proof doesn't work. I didn't think it would work and to be fair, I wasn't trying to outlaw squirrels. I want something small enough to accomodate little … Continue reading PHOTOS OF THE WEEK – FLOWERS, BIRDS & MORE

CRAZY SQUIRRELS AND PUSHY DOVES - A Friday Flashback There's a lot going on in and around our deck.

OH GLORIOUS AUTUMN

A SQUARE OF SQUARES Nine square pictures again. A square of squares in autumn woods. Seven plus two again, but leafy this time.
