Wildlife and Nature Photography 

Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience
- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Poet (1803-1882)
I've always enjoyed squirrels and we feed them year-round. Gray squirrels are numerous in my home town and
occasionally we see an Albino (we currently have one in our yard). We also see R
ed squirrels from time to time,
and
in some cities, we have Black squirrels too
