KK, this guy is quite patient when he goes out with his camera. I was not there the day he got that shot, but I'll ask him how long he had to stand there and just wait.

The squirrels we have here are different from the ones you have in the US - yours are mostly grey, aren't they? I never really noticed the tufts in the ears, not sure all of them have these.

Kokopup, I didn't know until recently that there are different kinds of Magnolia trees. The ones you have in the south are very impressive and so beautiful. I know that they are the State flower/tree in Mississippi and I've seen pictures of them from Willow Oak. The Dogwood trees are nice, too.

A pity you didn't make it to Denmark, I think you would have liked it!

This is one I shot last year, not half as good as the other one, but I love the tree.
