Nuts!

I spot lotsa squirrels @ my secret hideout where we jog (in a deep forested area) every weekday mornin. But none of them were as brave & inquisitive as this particular famous squirrel below named "Nuts"!

This Month in Photo of the Day: Animals

My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park-Canada when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intriqued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot! A once in a lifetime moment! We were laughing about this little guy for days!!
