Gray Squirrel

Gray squirrel:  from the genus Sciurus, which is made up of two Greek words - "skia" meaning shadow, and "oura" meaning tail.  Shadow Tale.  Isn't that a cool name?  Sounds like a Redwall character.  (Thank you, Wikipedia!)

This one was kind enough to sit for a portrait for me.


Next he was bounding off.


Look at his cute little feet!  (Click on the photo to enlarge.)
