Peanut Loving Squirrel

Here is a fat and sassy looking peanut loving squirrel for Wordless Wednesday (except for the part where it is not wordless at all!):

We had gone for a walk around the neighborhood.  I had my camera in my pocket even though I didn't really expect to see anything worth taking a picture of.  Not much goes on in our neighborhood.

But as we were passing this neighbors yard I noticed this chunky squirrel nomming away on some peanuts the person had put on a pic-nick table in their yard.

 The first shot didn't turn out so good.  I kept getting the chain link fence.  My mother in law told me to walk up to the fence, but I was afraid that he would run away, or that the neighbors would think I was up to something.  (They live in our neighborhood, but we don't really KNOW them...and who wants strangers shooting pictures over their fence?)


In the end I took the risk of being branded a stalker, and I'm happy I did.  The peanut loving squirrel was so into his nuts that he didn't even THINK about scurrying up a tree.  And if the neighbors noticed me taking photos over their fence they must have realized it was because of this fellow.

My little friend there is a common creature where I live.  In fact, a lot of people call the grey squirrel a nuisance.  They get into bird feeders, and steal food right out of peoples gardens.  That can get into attics and build nests.  When they do that not only do they make a lot of noise, but they can chew wires and such too.

Personally I think they are cute, and I find it a shame that a lot of them get run over and left in the streets.

This little fellow was nomming his peanuts, but many times they will dash back and forth across the road, unsure which way to go.  And since there are so many squirrels out there, most drivers don't stop and wait for them to make up their minds!

Rest assured, we stop for the little darlings:
