I Love Squirrels

I am an avid squirrel watcher, strange I know. Once you start watching them it is hard to stop, they are such funny creatures, especially the ones that are around humans a lot and aren't afraid. Like this squirrel, I got to within 2 feet of him while he was eating this peacan at Trinity Park in Fort Worth. He just kept sitting there, posing for the camera every once in a while. Others will run up almost to you to show you their "find" before scampering away. I've also watched as a squirrel, who is afraid of humans, has run up a tree limb and layed down flat as if he were trying to blend in with the tree, I can just image it thinking "Be one with the tree, she can't see me if I just lay still." If you ever get the chance I would highly suggest "Squirrel Watching" my favorite places are at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and Trinity Park also in Fort Worth.
