Perhaps not quite as chilly and a little less rainy, but certainly far different from the past several years where we went from winter straight into brutal summer. Not to rain on your parade (so to speak) but I like this years weather better. By the way your posts are looking very nice, keep up the good work.<br /><br />-craig-Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385053628579030329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-79636012734417505662013-07-01T13:32:53.682+02:002013-07-01T13:32:53.682+02:00Susan, I think that bald-looking spot was just an ...Susan, I think that bald-looking spot was just an effect of the light. I was very far away from the squirrel and the sun was, surprisingly enough, shining brightly that day.<br /><br />Virginia, the red squirrels are pretty and shy. They aren't pests like the North American gray squirrels. CHM, maybe they are smaller than the gray (or black) squirrels. I remember black ones in Sunnyvale; in Illinois, I remember seeing white ones (albinos?).Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-91875161943938013622013-07-01T13:07:10.530+02:002013-07-01T13:07:10.530+02:00Cute squirrel.

It seems to be much smaller than gray squirrels. In Arlington, Virginia, there are more and more black squirrels. Evolution?chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
