Day 27 - Squirrels in trees

I was busy putting together stuff for my soon-to-start cooking class when I suddenly became aware of the sounds of silence around me punctuated by bird-calls.  I immediately dropped all my work and whipped out my camera and tried to find them through my dirty bedroom window.  It had been a pretty dark and dreary day and the failing light didn't help.

But what I did find was a squirrel trying to lick something off the trunk of the tree!  Very interesting sighting so I took a few snaps of the guy clambering up and down the trunk, and got a couple of nice ones.  The first one's really blurry as I was trying to focus through the window and fidgeting with my settings, but it definitely tells the story of the tree-licking.  The next 2 are better, but seem pretty lame after the beautiful colours and subjects I saw at the Jardin Botanique a couple of days ago.

And the next one's the cutest!
