It's fun to watch them as they prepare for winter and I especially like how well he stands out here against the patchwork of rocks. Really nice shot Debra.

Thanks very much Jane.

Yes, these very active guys are fun to watch. Here they spent the last two months cutting branches with leaves. They have to come down to grab it on the ground and climb back a strong tree to build a good shelter for the winter. I don't think they have overweight problems.

I agree Yves, thanks for checking out the image.

Description
Busy little squirrel dropping cones from the trees and storing them for the winter. I think there was a competition going on amongst the squirrels. Fun to watch.
