You've posted several images of that pretty russet-colored squirrel with the big ear tufts. Interesting to me, it is closer in appearance to, for example, the Kaibab squirrel of the desert southwest than to the squirrels here in the northeast where the habitat and climate are more similar to yours. We do have a small russet-colored squirrel ("red squirrel"), but SFAIK only those from the interior western deserts have such dramatic ear tufts.

yes they are really quite nice to watch. There are several of them near the place i live. Always fun to watch.
last one:
1. after he got the walnut out of the water, eating his price.

I was about to say the same thing. In my travels I've only ever seen squirrels like this on the Kaibab Plateau. Just did a bit of research on Google and found the Kaibab Squirrel has been re-designated as a sub-species of the Albert's Squirrel, Sciurus aberti

It would be so difficult to clone/heal out all these young girls, even with content aware tools these days.

A photo captured from a single frame before work on Friday. A nice way to start the work day!

The subtle ripples emanating from the pair of ducks is a great element. I like this image. Well done!

If you guys would like to start a collection you can send it my way and I'll make sure the funds get distributed in the proper manner.

This particular girl is obviously in need.
