Good thing he’s a gray squirrel.

The nose knows.

I heard a squirrel. I know i did.

Another outstanding tree. BTW, Good fences make good neighbors.

My pup can get the scent 50 meters away.

Look for a piece of black rock that has no business in a New England field. There’s something under it.

“Yep, you don’t see much of it anymore…”

It’s the wall and tree from The Shawshank Redemption!

In New England, stone walls are often found deep in the woods. Back in the 18th and 19th centuries, those woods were cow pastures and the trees grew in after the farm was abandoned.

Ssssssush! I just got a faint scent of a squirrel. See any around?

☺️☺️☺️

So there’s no tree on the squirrel’s side of the fence?

No, he a fan of what is on the other side of the fence.

What a squirrely situation to be in.

My niece in Virginia has one bordering her property but she has to drive miles to get into her driveway because the fence is pre-civil war and cannot be touched

I always love seeing those rock walls winding their way thru the woods in New England.

NIce work. He cannot push it over.

In a wooded area of old Dallas (1950’s) I feed Bluejays cracked peanuts. They flock to the feeders six at a time. Very messy eaters. On the ground below three or four squirrels clean up their mess. But lately they’ve started to stand up and fold their hands and stare up at the feeders, now appearing to pray to the bluejays for peanuts. Very odd,

“SQUIRREL” …………. :)
