Squirrels - wet and dry

Squirrels, like humans, have differing approaches to being in, or not in, the rain. Below are three samples of that difference.




The one was determined to eat despite the rain which was falling rather heavily. You can see how wet his tail is and somehow, he has it, somewhat, shielding his head.

  
This one stayed under the bushes and only his tail became wet which was drying off in the photograph.


And there is the squirrel who wouldn't get wet for anything. Soon as the rain started to fall, he ran under the car and sat on top of the wheel watching the very wet squirrel continuing to eat.

Interesting rodents!

More Moons - July '19

 The image above is something of an experiment as it is a large jpeg as i want to see how the image looks when clicked on; give it a try and then the one above it and see what difference there is and what you think about them. If you are viewing this in a phone, you won't see any difference. Post a comment about what you see please — thanks.

  A week ago we drove to Bryson City where the Great Smoky Mountain Rail Road is located.  I heard about this mountain train ride some years...
