Curious vole in a hole says hello,
while squirrely plots to get his fix.
Forced to ponder,
as squirrels are,
he finally leaps,
to steal his treats.
And stares me down with a squirrely frown.
Cheers to you from clever critters everywhere~

Too cute, Cindy! Love the rhyme.
Thanks much Marlene & hope all is well with you დ
Your detail is incredible! You call a groundhog a vole?
Oh my GOD!!! You are right. It is a groundhog!! I am amazed. No wonder I didn’t recognize it and no wonder it was so friendly and curious. I have never seen a groundhog before. I’m thrilled to have done so, and thank you so much for telling me Jennie!! დ
I’m so glad, Cindy! 😀
I am still amazed I saw a groundhog! Thank you more Jennie.
😀🥰😀
I learned something new too 😀
Look at his/her cute little ears!
I was just so struck by him! He climbed out of his burrow, and stayed there, while I watched him and took pictures. And you are right, those ears! The whole creature was different and charming დ
So cute Cindy. I love all nature’s creatures.

Awww!!!

Squirrels are so cute and move like lightning.
They look closely at you, to determine whether they need to run away. They are very good at doing this! დ
Amazing photos of difficult to capture creatures. I have been trying in vain to get the monarch butterflies which flit about. What have I learned in the process? Always have the camera in hand and ready to go. Your words match the photos. Thank you, Cindy for the lovely post. oxox
It is wonderful to keep learning isn’t it! I admire you for doing it. I do it too. It keeps life interesting დ
Cindy, thanks once again for your insightful comment. Admiration is a two-way street. You are a very creative person whom I admire as well. Life is never dull or boring in our household. Enjoy the week! oxox
Thank you Mary Ann. Creativity makes even boring days most interesting დ
My pleasure, Cindy. Creativity keeps the mind active. I find it hard to fathom when others comment that they are bored. Not a word in my vocabulary! ox
They look so cute!
They are cute, and just so resilient and adaptive. Such survivors under such harsh circumstances. დ
He’s a cutie, Cindy. I (sort of) miss all the squirrels from our yard in Sacramento, but they drove my dog crazy!
Yes. But, your dog was massively entertained. He had a Mission Impossible! 😉
For sure! His squirrel bark..AARF AARFF!
Laughing…… I can hear it!
Very cool up close pictures of squirrels. They are very smart when it comes to food. I have seen a documentary about them trying to get food. They are incredible.
They are incredible. If Darwin were here, he would be using them, and coyotes, and who knows what else, as examples of “fittest” species. დ
Squirrels are one of my favourite entertainers this year! Great shots👍
Squirrels make us laugh consistently and we don’t even have to pay for it. Some seeds though, do move the merriment along! 😉
The same animal but is looking different in different places of the World.
Yes I have many of them around our little planet, pure black ones, all red ones. Very attractive looking creatures დ
The only thing why I do not like them, they ruin the garden. 🙂
Lovely shots, Cindy. Squirrels are so clever but they drive me crazy! 😀
Yes. I know exactly what you mean. დ
Cindy, thank you for these lovely photographs.
Grazie mille Charles დ

A funtastic posting. This species is so funny, and they always find a way to get their treats. Thanks for sharing, Cindy! xx Michael
They have the will, so they always find they way!! 😉
Bootiful! ♥
Thanks my friend & cheers to you დ
Squirrels are so cute😀 and, they can be very destructive sometimes. Sometime back my aunt tried to bring her patch to life by planting some seedlings, and lo! They were all gone by the next day. I just love your alliterative titles. As an animal lovers I find your blog fascinating🐻🐱🐕
Yes, squirrels and gardeners have a challenging relationship! 😉 I <3 my friends who <3 animals დ
The “squirrelness” you captured in your series is just enchanting. My goodness, you just gotta hand it to squirrels–they never give up!
-Julie
They are dogged squirrels! 😉
Great shots. They appear so friendly.
Yes. They will get close, but I don’t let them. They can carry disease დ

Love this one with the squirrels!!
WP continues to unfollow my followers. It is not a glitch. It’s a function. So happy you looked me up. Some people tell me they thought covid got me…..Not yet WP! დ
