Featured Asian chiseled repoussé silver cuffs pair.

They are very bold, so I see them up close and personal all the time. They sit on my trees and chatter at me and my cats. They look just like rats with bushy tails.

 

just cuz ya pay good money, don't mean it's not a bargain !!!
nice cuffs , Kyra !

 

I chatter back at mine & have been feeding the same family for generations......squirrel generations that is !!!

 

I go with tour companies that include people will all sorts of physical and cognitive challenges. Fellow travelers are generally kind and helpful. Just a thought.

 

They are beautiful!

 

If they would just share some nuts, I might feel differently. I am a critter lover from the tiniest to the biggest, but all I get is shells, so I don't view them very fondly.

 

if u show up in my back yard ...I will share my nuts with you !!!

 

You never know. I have been camping all over Canada from Vancouver to Newfoundland and Labrador. I have a number of pieces and art work from Canadian indigenous peoples, so I might have even stopped in your shop back in the day.

 

My "tree rats" are like little flames, living in a huge oak in my garden and hiding everywhere walnuts and hazelnuts from my trees up to my outside windows pots... No nuts for me, as the rascals doggies eat them too

Yep! And thanks!

Bravo! I'd love to have them closer... But doggies and hunting cat scare them

Thank you, Ô Silver Guru!

 

Cute. We've only got the grey ones down here, I think the only pockets of red squirrels are up in Scotland. They are our native species but some bright spark decided to introduce the greys to the UK in the late 19th C and the reds were herded north.

 

Hope you are ok xx

 

Where I live in the central US we still have the fox squirrels. They have a more docile personality than the gray squirrels. Where I grew up (and where relatives still live), the Eastern gray squirrel has taken over and I never see any of the fox squirrels there any more. The gray squirrels are slightly smaller (and more destructive) than the fox squirrels are. You might get a different idea from the sizes of these photos I found on the Web.

By all reports, my maternal grandfather was a drunk SOB without much to recommend him.

When I was pretty young, he visited and the thing I remember most was he spent almost all of his time outside feeding the squirrels.

He was there for a week and by the end of it, squirrels were taking nuts right out of his hand.

So it amused me when I found this picture of him, my mother, and a little friend.

 

OH MY GOOD GOLLY!!!!! THOSE ARE BEYOND WONDERFUL, KYRA!!!!!!!!!

 

The Isle of Wight has red squirrels.

 

You are SO BAD!

 

I didnt know that!. I must visit IOW. Every time we go to Scotland and look for them it’s piddling with rain and they are hiding.

 

I was thinking naughty, not bad.

 

Awww, that’s an ENTHOUSIASTIC comment, Aqui!
Thank you, I must say I’m stumped with them
