A Meeting With A Red Squirrel

I had a close encounter with a red squirrel on the weekend.  I was walking up the driveway at the cottage when suddenly, there he was at the base of a tree.

I think he was as surprised to see me as I was him.

I almost didn't noticed him at first as his colouring blends so well with the fallen leaves on the ground.  He seemed quite happy to pose for me.

Then it was time to go - can you see his cute little squirrel butt scampering away in this photo? I told you, he blends!!
