Squirrels here are brownish, greyish. I am always surprised to see photos of black ones!
Have a great day!

I've only seen a couple black squirrels, on a trip to a place just north of NYC. Most of them I see are gray.

That includes sitting at my computer writing. I wanted to bring my friends up-to-date; I’m pondering whether I should stop blogging altogether o

Have humans sat here? Not recently, I think. Perhaps a snow couple rested for a while, and the shadowy remnants of them remain. more Cool Clicks
