We have quite a few squirrels out on the roof garden this summer. They’re so used to people feeding them out there that they come running! Although this looks like this one is running away from us, he was running towards where there were some nuts.
There’s an older man in our building who goes out almost every evening after dinner and feeds them. It’s really quite sweet to watch him out there with the squirrels inching closer and closer to get their treat from him.
I think it’s partly because we’re right smack in the middle of downtown of a huge city, but seeing a little bit of wildlife like this on our roof garden is quite wonderful!
I couldn’t resist taking a photo of this little guy curled up asleep on a branch of the tree in front of our living room window. I think if you click on the picture you’ll get a better look at him.
I’m not quite sure about this look on Smudge’s face, although I think it’s his “Yes, I know I’m quite amazing and you may take my picture now, if you must,” look. 🙂

Love the squirrels, I use to have the odd one at my old house, but have not seen any at my new place.

I have only seen one squirrel where we live, but we’re in a pretty new area so when the trees grow, the squirrels will move in no doubt.Gill

That’s really amazing — how did the squirrels get on the rooftop in the first place???

Those are some chubby looking squirrels – must be some chocolate in those treats! I think Smudge is thinking “Dumb squirrels, I want those treats!”
