Grey squirrel (black phase)

Rockcliffe Park. This guy was huddled against the tree trunk in the -11 weather yesterday, which was a lot warmer than today's -18.

I hope you're keeping warmer, Christine, than this guy looks to be.

He's looking a little chilled! Great capture! V

I guess even squirrels can get cold. Wonderful close up of this cute little guy huddling up for warmth. V.

And much warmer than today's - 21 Christine. Excellent sharp shot of it.

Yikes that's cold. I got a shiver just looking at the image, but your description has me going for a cup of hot chocolate.

easy to empathize in the challenging conditions..

So lovely Superb catch.

I feel so sorry for the little critters when it's this cold. I make sure I put food out a couple of times a day. Great capture - sure represents the recent weather.

Il a l'air d'avoir bien froid, le pauvre ! Superbe photo !

Such a cute portrait! I must say huddled describes it, as he does look a bit chilled in that weather. V.
Sheila14-Dec-2013 10:23
Oh, he is gorgeous. Looks like he is huddling himself.
I wish I could share todays 40°C. I'd let you have half or more.

A little darling! V

Poor little chap, he needs to get back in his drey and get some sleep.
Ann Pettigrew14-Dec-2013 05:56
He is a very interesting color, Christine. Looks like he is trying to be a little gray underneath the black. I have never seen black where we live but have seen them in NYC and the Washington Zoo. Stay warm!

Wow that´s really cold. And I guess is -18F...V.
