The story behind the image
Squirrels? I love them. They are smart and busy animals that almost always make me smile.
Imagine my joy when I discovered one of these little fellows in the tree next to our home! It was a red-brown one, a European squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) which is the dominant type in this region. However, it’s rare to see it so clearly and with such a beautiful bright fur.
Made my day.
