Squirrel of the Month: September 2012

I am still not sure whatever this furry fella jumped or actually fell from the roof, I just heard some noise and barely saw some movement from the roof to the patio with a corner of my eye.

When I realized that somebody invaded our top patio I went to check it out. The squirrel was picking thru the kitchen door at our kitchen :)

He saw me, turned around, then sneaked thru patio rails to the ground and decided to climb a tree near by, as if nothing had happened.

This is where Yuriy manager to catch him with a camera...

Squirrel of the Month: February 2012

I wished for more squirrels and I got some. And I decided to share pics of some funny ones with you.

Meet the "Miss Back Yard February'12":

Happy B-day to me

This windy sunny snowless winter day I want to wish myself more squirrels: these restless furry creatures never fail to find a motivation to do whatever they want raid our bird feeder:

Vegas Vacation: Couple of Photos

Since I still don't have any photos from NC vacation to share, I thought I at least share some from a trip to Vegas a month ago.

We managed to see Vegas, see Cirque du Soleil's Mystere, visit Secret Garden at the Mirage and Shark Reef at Mandalay, spend a day at Grand Canyon, play on slots and don't lose any money! All in 5 days including flying.

Here is a pic of Crand Canyon I liked the most, click it to see a bit more on Yuriy's site:

And I though some squirrels deserve an extra spot light (click the pic to see more of these):

I do have access to pics from Grand Canyon only for now, however I am told there are much more. Will I see them or not - that is a separate question. Stay tunned.

New California Wildlife: Ninja Squirrels

When I said that New California has a wild life, I didn't lie!

Yesterday morning, when I did a zombie walk to the kitchen trying to open my eyes and get ready to leave for work after long 4th of July weekend, I noticed that there is a big bird sitting on the bird feeder plate.

After several attempts to focus I actually noticed that the "bird" has a fluffy tail, and is indeed a squirrel.

While I was screaming around to get Yuriy to look at it, it was long gone. Huh...

However today appeared to be even more interesting: couple of ninja squirrels raided the bird feeder again, and this time Yuriy got a couple of funny pics.

They probably do this kind of staff every day during the day when we are gone... Wouldn't it be a nice reason to quit working?..
