    Squirrels are amazing acrobats and will always find a way to get to the food, no matter what. They have a real balance advantage with their long tails. Happy Friday Mary. Allan

    1. Mary K. Doyle

          1. Tony

            Yes Mary, a true treasure of history and what to say, archaeological…

  9. The Introverted Bookworm

    Aww, these photos are great! I love the way you captured his bushy tail and the glint in his eye! Cute! 💙🐿😄

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Ada. We have a love/hate relationship. He’s always getting into something. Hugs to you.

  10. Ralph Gilbert

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Maggie.

  12. gc1963

    Cute

  13. restlessjo

    It’s always fun to watch them.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      They are silly little guys. Thanks for chiming in, Jo.

  14. Looking for the Light

    I also love to see them chase each other around the tree! That gets a smile every time. 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      They are playful and mischievous. I hope you and your husband are doing well, my friend. Hugs to you.

      1. Looking for the Light

        He’s doing good after his surgery and goes back to work on Tuesday. I have my surgery in the morning so he has to help me. I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact he has three cancer’s and may have to have radiation on his throat. Our 22nd anniversary was on the 22nd of this month and he’s spent all that time well and taking care of me. It’s hard to watch him get bad news after bad news, I will not accept any thoughts of death.

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          I will keep you both in my prayers. I’m sorry for all of your heartache, Melinda.

          1. Looking for the Light

            As you know all to well…..this is life and we find our way through the downs.

  15. philsblog01

    Great close-ups Mary! Happy Friday!

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Phil. The photos were taken from the glass of the sliding door. I had to work to avoid the glare. I appreciate your comment, my friend.

  16. GP

    He could use more exercise, a bit wide in the rump, isn’t he?

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      LOL, GP! Hugs to you.

  17. LoveLifeHappiness&More💙💙

    Aww, how cute. Hope your Thanksgiving was awesome with love one’s.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      My Thanksgiving was perfect, T’. I hope yours was, as well.

  18. Rosaliene Bacchus

    Which I were so flexible 😀

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Right? I used to be when I went to yoga three nights a week. Now, I’d rather spend evenings in my jamies.

  19. Dawna

    Those are awesome. What a fun little character being able to eat upside down. Silly guy. I wonder if he knew he was on camera. Love God’s creations. They just melt my heart and make me so happy seeing their little personalities.

    Hugs and lots of love to you my friend. Enjoy your day.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      He knows he’s on camera, and seems to often pose. He is unimpressed with me, Dawna. Love you!

      1. Dawna

        Aww, that’s awesome

  20. marvellousnightmare

    So sweet! I adore squirrels 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      I try not to like them because they can be so damaging, but they’re to funny. I get a kick out of them. Thank you Ms. Marvellous.

  21. Stephen Nielsen

    I love watching squirrels jump from branch to branch. Unfortunately, a dead tree outside my window blue over–where they were jumping from. So I don’t see them anymore.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      I’m sorry about the loss of your tree, Stephen. The little guys are entertaining. Maybe you can see them at a park.

  22. Kym Gordon Moore

    Too cute, but to think those bird feeders were designed to keep squirrels from grabbing a hold of them did not work. I had some of these iron stands and honey that did not deter those squirrels one iota. They must use that white dust that gymnists use on their palms just before jumping on the balance beam! LOL 😝🐿😝

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      When there’s a will, there’s a way, and those little guys have lots of will. Thank you for commenting, my friend. Are you now in Christmas mode?

      1. Kym Gordon Moore

        Too cute Mary. Honey chile, I’ve been in Christmas mode for 11 months now! 🤣😜😂 LOL It’s hard to decipher what holiday is which! 😫 But trust me I am not the least bit stressed. How about you? 🎅🏼🎄🤶🏼

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          I’m not stressed but sure do have a lot to do! Hugs to you, my ever-loving friend.

          1. Kym Gordon Moore

            Well girlfriend, you just hang in there and tie a knot in that rope if you need to! Smooches and hugs! 🥰💖🤗

    2. bennydonalds3

      We’ve added conical shields to the poles to keep squirrels from climbing them.

      1. Mary K. Doyle

        I’ve tried the shields, unsuccessfully. Squirrels can’t get into a regular feeder I have, just this one for suet.

      2. Kym Gordon Moore

        Interesting and creative additions Benny! 🐿🐿🐿

  23. Linda Black

    Hi Mary. This is Linda Black from Terrys Magic show years ago. I have enjoyed your e mails! I just came across our copy of a Winter’s Promise. It is such a beautiful book! I am going to set it out and turn over a page every few days! I just went to your Amazon site to see if you had any similar books. Could not tell for sure. I do want to order some of your books that are on the site.Just had not done it yet. Let me know if any other books have a similar art and inspirational format. Thank you! I hope you have heard that Terry is in the process of opening up his own theater! So exciting! I hope your holidays are beautiful! Take care Linda Black 303 653 8355 Lindacblack18@gmail.com

  24. Cindy Georgakas

    They are so adorable in someone else’s garden, Mary.. lol😂💕

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Right? I want to be angry with this guy because he’s always into something. But he’s so determined and will come up to me. He’s too charming.

  26. Drops of Ink

    So cute! Love the photos, Mary. ❤️ Have a great weekend.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Phoebe. How are you doing, Girlfriend?

      1. Drops of Ink

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          Sending you a giant hug, my friend.

  27. Nancy Homlitas

    You’ve captured a wonderful sequence of images of an acrobatic squirrel, Mary. Thank you for sharing them. I hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you for checking out the mischievous squirrel, Nancy. I had a perfect Thanksgiving at my daughter’s house. How was yours, my friend?

      1. Nancy Homlitas

        It was wonderful. Thank you for asking. 🦃🦃🦃 YUM!!!

  28. festo_sanjo

    Amazing shots, Mary.. a story well narrated via photos.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Festo. I had to take these photos from behind the glass of the sliding door, so they aren’t my best. But I wanted to share this mischievous little guy’s tricks.

  29. PradP

    Cutesy sweet squirrel ….Exercising.Captured Nicely Mary….👌👌

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      The little guys make me laugh. They’re always trying to get into something. In the summer when I work on my patio, they will run past me, stop, check me out, and saunter off like I’m no big deal.

      1. PradP

        Thanks Mary Many more Hugs to you

  30. Garden Bliss

    Oh my, they are the cutest. I have never seen a real one. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, Mary.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Wow! But then, I have never seen a live kangaroo. Squirrels are everywhere here. They are hard not to see. Thank you for commenting, Flavia.

  31. bennydonalds3

    Squirrels are always after our bird feeders, too. LOL

    1. Mary K. Doyle

    Beautiful animals. I used to watch them playing around. When I was in Soon valley Sakesar in Pakistan.

  47. Jayendra Nath

    Lovely post 📯

  48. Hazel

    I love to pet the squirrel. So cute.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Squirrels can carry rabies, so we shouldn’t pet the furry guys.

      1. Hazel

        Oh, okay. I love seeing them.

  49. Klausbernd

    Hi Mary
    It’s amazing how agile they are. You document this well.
