1. So lovely! I never have luck taking photos of squirrels.

   • Thanks for watching and kind comment, my dear friend…they are really very difficult to paint because they are very fast and distrustful

2. We don’t get squirrels in New Zealand but I like them. They could never import one here as we have precious native birds who need all their eggs with young chicks intact as many of them are an endangered species.
   Lovely photo

   • Thanks for viewing and a friendly comment, dear Pamela….Yeah, that wouldn’t be good … they love eggs very much

     • they are very rare in Maryland but always fun to spot!

         • evolution is funny that way. The black squirrel is more visible in the green forests so more brown squirrels are born.

         • With us, the squirrel population is really colorful … we have them of all colors

8. the way to say squirrel in Japanese is RISU

     • it just so happens to be one of the Japanese words I know

       • Also, I only know a word in Japanese … one of them is SAJONARA

         • most folks will translate sayonara as goodbye, but farewell is closer. it was translated for me as “I don’t expect to see you again in this lifetime”

         • In all honesty, I really don’t know what it means … I only know the word … I thought it was a greeting

9. You were lucky enough to be able to photograph it

   • Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear Vida…I was really lucky because they are very fast

       • I was really lucky because it’s very difficult to paint, dear Vida

         • And how did you get the picture, dear Vidocka
