A symbol of Britain - the Red Squirrel.

Well, this time I brought my camera and got a picture of this little guy. There was one more, but he ran.

I also love these trees!

Randi! What a fabulous photo of the tree squirrel! Is that a red squirrel?

I wonder if Shirley was a red or a gray squirrel?

I'll have to find a photo...

Sara, that's a red squirrel - I don't think we have grey ones over here.

I wonder if Shirley was a red or a gray squirrel?

Shirley was definitely no European red squirrel. They are a little smaller (of course and Shirley was more brownish. I still love that I got to give her a Brazil nut.

When I was living in S.C.,we ended up having a pet squirrel for a while. We later had to let him live in our yard and he'd sometimes jump on our neighbors shoulders and scare them. It was very interesting that some of the other squirrels also became more friendly and they'd come close to us so we could feed them. He was the typical brownish grey and we ended up calling him Gray. He liked to ride on our shoulders and play with us. As time went on he eventually left our yard probably to mate and we never saw him again.

The red squirrels sure are gorgeous. Hopefully they'll continue to thrive.

Remember I said I had only ever seen a red squirrel in Germany? Well, I saw my first one here yesterday! We were at a beautiful National Trust property yesterday, The Hermitage in Perthshire, and there was a red squirrel running along the path beside us. Didn't manage to get a picture, but the squirrel was very pretty.
