I am firmly in the squirrel liking end of things maybe because my cats eat them and they don't get out of hand.

But they are a rare sight, compared to the grey ones. You should think that in this day and age it should be possible to solve the virus problem at least, so that they could live side by side :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-61726504210462416062012-01-31T11:35:09.638+00:002012-01-31T11:35:09.638+00:00That is a very cheeky or hungry squirrel.

The red ones in this area are very cute and look straight out of Beatrix Potter.

After reading your post, I think it's them who brought peanuts in my garden. I find them here and there. They also like to tease our dog.Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-72012639902867297532012-01-30T11:34:50.432+00:002012-01-30T11:34:50.432+00:00What a cute squirrel.

But I agree with you, they can be a problem too; I used to have a lovely display of crocus, but not anymore.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725991262021867082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-87832442875402640712012-01-30T01:30:53.969+00:002012-01-30T01:30:53.969+00:00Wow, what a brazen little squirrel!

Have you tried red pepper or anything to deter him from the tulips? <br /><br />Gray squirrels are definitely smart creatures - I rather enjoy their antics in my garden, except for all the bulb eating!Indiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120631846270350947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-87751020536746919282012-01-30T01:13:45.977+00:002012-01-30T01:13:45.977+00:00CraftyGardener: No, I have never heard about the s...CraftyGardener: No, I have never heard about the squirrel appreciation day, I have just been over at your blog and seen your post, great photos! I appreciate squirrels…and I don’t…depends what they have been up to!<br /><br />Masha: I used a film SLR for 25 years before I got my first digital point and shoot, I was frustrated about all the things my new camera could NOT do! Then I bought a better digital point and shoot which could do all the things my old film camera could do except deliver the same quality. Now I want a DSLR, and I want both control and quality, but can’t afford a high-end camera, so I am aiming for Canon EOS 600D, as it has a flip-out LCD screen, a necessity for me when taking macro shots of plants and flowers. Looking forward to all the great photos I will be taking with my new camera! And, yes, the lenses are so expensive, shame my old lenses dont fit, I got so many to my old SLR, I will never use film again!HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-33256324117523227392012-01-30T00:52:47.605+00:002012-01-30T00:52:47.605+00:00I feel exactly the same about squirrels.

Good luck with your camera purchase, I have a DSLR too, I had to learn much more about photography to make better use of all that expensive equipment. Now I am saving for extra lenses :).Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15996950576326655813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265213687739263373.post-82469629279414960052012-01-29T22:45:39.741+00:002012-01-29T22:45:39.741+00:00Did you know there is a squirrel appreciation day?...Did you know there is a squirrel appreciation day?
