The squirrels in Texas are very bold, let me tell you! I didn’t need a long lens for this shot, in fact I was half-inclined to take a step back, as this feisty little critter gave every indication that he was about to run straight up my leg!

Ooh…rally! He looks adorable though 🙂
Lots of squirrels in the park so plenty of competition for food. I was just glad I wasn’t carrying anything edible otherwise I would probably have been mugged!
They can become pests but they are so cute! When I was a kid we fed one in our yard that actually did crawl up our legs to get nuts.
They’re certainly very clever creatures and don’t miss an opportunity when it comes to finding food.
That squirrel is a typical Texan.
Haha! I believe it!
This is a brilliant close up. 😀 😀
Thanks, Cee!
So adorable, Sue! 🙂
He was cute, and I think he knew it! He kept running in front of me and sitting up as though waiting to have his picture taken.
