A happy Friday to all and this morning we attended the squirrel Olympic games in the garden.
Let's have a look at these great athletes!

This was the leap over two guinea fowls event!
He jumped over the two birds, but was too fast for my camera!
But I will get him another time!

Oh!!! What a great selection of events you caught!

I especially like the tree jumpers! I cannot believe you caught them with your camera. You are a man of patience or you have very active squirrels or perhaps a little bit of both.

You have a real wit about putting quotes on your shots. :)

Mother Nature and you are in cahoots, no doubt. They do look like rather young and if this is their way of courting, God Bless them. They had me tired out!

Another great post, Stephen! You have become such an awesome photographer! May God Bless you and yours.

Thank you dear Blondie for your kind heart!

I am engaged to mother nature and I am pleading with her to tell the squirrels to jump at my count of 3, so that I can sit down and rest my weary legs.
The courting thought also occurred to me and in this case I am so glad that I am not a squirrel. You can simply not believe the blurring speeds that they reach chasing each other around a large tree trunk.

I am still the same old amateur photographer Lady Denise, but thank you for the complement!
Blessings!

Oh, you know that the pleasure is always mine!

I knew you and Mother Nature had something going on! How else would those squirrels do those Olympic Feats for you?

*I am glad I am not a squirrel either! There is no keeping up with them! Don't fool yourself! Your photography is top notch!

Many Blessings Back!

Thank you and I am glad that you liked the post!

Hahahahahahahah... I so needed that laugh this morning! Thank you!!! So funny but also cute. They can do a bit of damage to the interior of a home if they decide to nest in the attic. We have a home or two catch fire here in NJ every year due to the grey squirrels. Hope they aren't getting into your house :-O

:-D

Glad that I put a smile on your dial my friend!
The thing is this house where we rent is 100 years old and declared as a Heritage House.
The squirrels have lived in this roof for generations.
It thank that due to the ceilings being made of the old style (solid wooden planks) they have not yet found a way inside the house. Sad thing is that we will not be here for much longer, as our rental contract expires at the 1st of June!

As missionaries, we cannot afford big amounts for rental and consequently we end up in many cheap and interesting places.
Blessings!

Please allow gambling on these guys. I choose the fute little brown one!

Hahaha you cannot lose in the betting, as both of them depending on the light, are little brown ones!
Blessings!
