Joining in for Pairs on Wednesday with Helena: http://helenascreativemaven.blogspot.ca/
My pairs are some of the peanut lover visitors to my garden. One is welcomed, one is not.
The Chipmunk, whom we have named Short Tail, as he has lost part
of his tail in a tangle with the neighbour’s patrolling cat, he will take peanuts from my hand.
The Red Squirrel, whom we have named Lucy. She is quite aggressive at times with all who
venture into the garden, including me!
welcome to Pairs and what a lovely pair of peanut eaters
ReplyDeleteThank you Helena - I am looking forward to many more Pairs.
Deletesuper sweet
ReplyDeleteChipmunks are so easily tamed - thankfully Red Squirrels are not. ;)
DeleteGreat photos; both are pesky animals in our yard!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes both get a little too comfortable and start begging at the door which drives my two cats crazy, which are total indoor cats.
DeleteVeeeery cute, cute cute! And so exotic to me, especially little Mr Chippy Short Tail. Our native red squirrel is a different type, with tufty ears and pretty shy. There are currently (belated) efforts in some areas to control the American grey cousin and encourage the red back. Really hoping for success.
ReplyDeleteThe American Grey has pushed our native Black squirrel around, I don't think anyone can boss the Reds around ;)
DeleteI love that you name your garden visitors!
ReplyDeleteBarbara not only do I name most of my garden visitors but we have named our trees - it was MoneyPenny and Mikey that were inoculated.
DeleteI remember feeding chipmunks peanuts at my Great Aunt's house - I was always thrilled. I like the red squirrels too but they do get noisy on occasion.
ReplyDeleteOur Reds seem like they are on drugs, they are SO super hyper active and oh the sounds they make if challenged.
DeleteOh, they're so cute!!
ReplyDeleteCute they are, most of the time. My cats view them as entertainment viewed strictly from inside.
