Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)

Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)

I love my backyard squirrels but they sure don't love my feeders [ they chew them to pieces] and they put a huge dent in my monthly expenses as I buy them 200 lbs of shelled filberts, fifty pounds of corn on the cob and 100 pounds of sunflower seeds. They have squirrel boxes to sleep in [ winter months] and I keep their water fresh and clean year round. Good thing they are really cute and entertain my cats.

More pics below.

To my contacts:
I am really in a photo taking funk. There's places I could go......things I could take pics of at home but have somehow lost my desire. I'm sure it'll come back.
With that said, maybe if I get rid of the things hanging over my head to do here at home, my enthusiasm for photography will return. In the meantime, take care. I'll lurk and occasionally comment.....I figure I'll be back Feb. 1st, Weds.

The pics in the above mosaic:
2007
Joined Flickr. The coyote was my first post, I think.
'Discovered the wildlife refuge and birds, so bought my first "birding" lens. 'Spent most of my free time at the refuge.

2008:
Rusty joined our family.
Millie: my first cat TNR at the farm in Hockinson, WA...this is where it all began.

2009
Woodland WA Cat Colony created.
My beloved blue point Siamese, Pearl passed away.

2010
Annie--my dad's new dog.
I "discovered" mushroom/ fungi photography--and instantly fell in love.
I became consumed with macro photography....snails, insects being favorite subjects. Also frogs & praying mantids.

2011
TNR [ Trap/ Neuter/ Return] cats in full swing.

You've seen my world thru my daily posts these past five years. Thanks to all my loyal contacts who have been with me for all these years. Thanks to you newcomers too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wanted to find something really cool to photograph to commemorate my anniversary, but with all the gloomy rain we've had all month and being in a pretty deep photo funk right now, this is the best I could come up with.

I'm a bit behind on flickr....and hope to catch up tomorrow & this weekend.

We finally got some sunshine so I packed up my camera and long lens and drove to Ridgefield WA. This sweet tortie/ calico was sunning on the porch.

I love black cats. This one was nice enough to stay put for my camera as I drove by.
