Snow on a Squirrel’s Tail

January 13th, 2010

A sure sign that it is thawing is a squirrel being out and about. They have been scarce since this cold and snow set in but I saw two of them yesterday and today, having put some peanuts out for them, I watched and photographed one as he fed to his tummy’s content.
A light snow was falling and settling on his tail.

I watched through the patio doors as, again, there was no chance of getting the hide out.

The sky is still very grey as it seems to have been for weeks now.
I did glimpse the sun trying to break through the clouds this afternoon without much success but wouldn’t it be nice to see a patch of blue sky.
