She is still my little sweetie

She sure is! She loves to knead -- and headbump people affectionately!

A squirrel who posed for me this morning. This was a hopeful point-and-shoot at 2X Zoom.

What a cool black squirrel!

Are black squirrels common in your neck of the woods?

They are not common in Cleveland, Ohio, but they are all over the place in Kent, Ohio.

Never seen a black squirrel before

We have a mix of red, black, and gray squirrels here in northern IL. This summer we saw a first: a white tailed squirrel.
Upon further inspection, we found that it was a red squirrel with a white tail. A trip to Google informed that the white tail is a genetic trait that can just show up, and if a female gets it, she will pass it on to her offspring. No clue if this one is a male or female, but if we see a bunch next year or the year after, we'll know.

What an interesting looking squirrel. I've never seen any squirrel with a white tail.

I think they are pretty common here in Ontario! Gray ones may be more frequent in sightings, however. Some of the different-coloured ones fight like no tomorrow!

Sight-seeing with the children this morning.

Why couldn't "Pin the Horn on the Unicorn" have been around when I was a kid?!
