Wild Things
Our outdoor critter population has grown by two. The tree squirrel that took up residence here was apparently pregnant when she arrived and the youngsters are scampering around the trees, learning how to be tree squirrels that go out into the world and further populate. I have no idea why we have tree squirrels now, after 12 years of never seeing one, but they are amusing to watch and photograph.
They don't know to be afraid of me so if I stand very quietly under the tree, they will come within a few feet of me and just look at me. Their feet are so amazing. If these two mature and raise babies here, we may get concerned about the growing size of the family, but for now it's keeping us entertained. As long as the pine cones are available, I suppose they will stay.
