Just one more peanut and I will not bother you again. Yeah right, how many times have you heard that one! 134
My! What is it? A squirrel?

@Sidonie: Indeed a squirrel. The same one leaping from tree to tree begging for a peanut. It was entertaining to watch.
OOO so cute ;-)

@Man With 101 Names: Thank you.
I do not have enough room here for my comments on squirrels living in Michigan. I view them all day from my window, knocking down "squirrel free" bird feeders to the ground and rolling them into the woods; removing the suet cake from a screened in feeder for my darling finches and right now while I am writing, they are in the trees maneuving how to get at this or that....BUT, I also view my free trapeze act on the high wires....oh nature! Great innocent looking shot Barb!

@Chris: Great comment, thank you Chris.
Wow...great close up.
We are overrun with squirrels! We just had a big problem with the gas line to our outdoor grill because a squirrel chewed the gas line going into the burners! Apparently they like to do that. We kept smelling gas but didn't know why. Then we figured that it had to be from the grill. We couldn't find any leaks on the lines using soapy water to look for bubbles where a leak would be, so we called for service and he found that the line was chewed all the way up where the line goes into the grill. It didn't look like a place where a squirrel would go. It took him 30 minutes to find the problem. We also had one trying to get in the house the other day too.
I used to think they were cute until I saw the damage they did to my neighbor's house when they got in and then to my grill...Now I am not so sure anymore...Grrrrrrrr!

@Laurie: Thank you. I certainly understand why you may have a grrrr-udge on the squirrels. I have heard they are destructive. I do know they can be a pest and do not give up. But for a walk in the park they are entertaining. That sounds like a dangerious situation you had with the grill.
I bet he's hungry.
