Here is the next Squirrel adventure and I got his jump much better!
Let's have a look at some squirrel innovation as I take you on this interesting journey around the big garden boundaries today. Not a competition again, but rather an interesting discovery.
Follow me as I followed him!
All that you can see in the yellow circle is an old crow's nest!
But wait! What's going on here in the old bird's nest?
Ah! The squirrel has found a new use for the old nest!
He is stashing his nuts in the old nest!
A perfect hiding place!
Let's follow him on his nut collecting journey!
Here he is replicating a tightrope act across the back!
Scampers down an electricity post to a tree!
Slides down on a branch onto the long side boundary wall!
Races along at the top of the long boundary wall!
Up the empty macadamia tree to jump across to the pecan nut tree!
End of the journey and tomorrow he will find another hiding place for his nuts!
Now I can go the normal route of just posting nice still sets of squirrel photos, but I am not normal and I enjoy these adventures of following them around much more. It is more action packed and I can at times get them in amazing positions. Unfortunately a video will not work, as I run here and there all over the place and I also have to move the camera up and down a lot to get them at different heights.
But I enjoy the freehand camera hunts!
We hope you have also enjoyed the journey and thank you for the visit to @papilloncharity

And we enjoy your freehand camera shots but a video of you running around trying to get your great shots would be interesting too!
Hahaha, I would have to get someone to take the video my friend and with my luck I will break a leg while they are filming.
Glad you enjoyed the shots!
Blessings!
Well, a broken leg would add quite a bit of drama to the story and probably a 100% upvote and if you do it in 3D it may go viral!
Hahaha a very funny reply here!
Blessings!
A difficult quest for this squirrel :). Many difficult stunts she had to do. Great shot of a squirrel in flight. Your patient observation of her amazes me :). I think that for such an unusual frame it's worth it. Thank you for the interesting photo story,@papilloncharity
And thank you for all of the kind words Lady @madlenfox
I enjoy the hunt and the fun of catching here on the camera.
At the same time, I learn how to understand their ways.
So, it is fun and education together.
Blessings!
Omg! First photo was just so timing!
Perfect shot.
Love how the squirrel look happy & satisfied on the last photo.
Thank you my friend and it's amazing to watch these little ones at work.
A lesson to all of us that you get out what you put in!
Hard work deserves great rewards.
Blessings!

How interesting! New adventures of a squirrel. :)
Great find with a nest.
A squirrel in flight and a squirrel-gymnast on the wires - I am delighted with these photos.
Thank you Lady Elena, I was thinking along the same athletic lines, but decided to rather post about what the squirrel was actually doing.
Of course I miss many jumps due to his speed, but at this jump I was in the right place.
Glad that you liked the photos my friend!
Blessings!

Hahaha, a great comment my friend.
Our prime athlete was at it again.
Blessings!
I love your posts, you should write some kids books about animals. The squirrels are very cute and very playful. There are many, many here... squirrels 🐿, rats 🐀 and pigeons. That’s NY & NJ baby
Thank you for the kind words and it seems that you really enjoyed this post my friend.
I love the little animals, but writing a children's book is not in my league.
By NY & NJ I take it you mean New York & New Jersey?
Blessings!
Yes, New York and New Jersey, I live at the border between the two states.
What an amazing catch...
Thank you, right place and right time my friend!
Blessings!
Hello @papilloncharity
Beautiful post on Squirrel adventure.
yes you are right it is a perfect hiding place.
Thank you and glad that you agree on his hiding place my friend!
Blessings!
haha! howdy sir papilloncharity! THAT is so cool! I loved following along with that squirrel's route and I can just see you running around trying to get the shots and keeping up with him! lol. super well done!
Howdy Sir @janton, it's indeed becoming a mission to scramble all over the place. The days are getting cooler and the bones are starting to creak Lol
Glad that you liked it!
Blessings!
I love the change of seasons sir papilloncharity and I bet it's a tremendous relief after the hot summers you all have!
Same love here for the changes my friend.
A brief period of cool weather to break the spell of the sun.
Blessings!
Howdy again sir and I bet your winters are real short aren't they? Our are too, basically two months.
Howdy Sir Janson, June and July is winter here. August is the windy month and the 1st of September is Spring Day!
Your months may be different, but I think that we have similar weather.
Blessings!
Oh! I forgot to mention that where we come from up north has summer rains and down here in the Cape it's winter rains. A big difference to get used to!
Howdy again sir papilloncharity! Do you have family back in the North and do you go to visit the North?
How many miles is it?
Great photos dude - the third one is my favorite! ☺
Come check out my photography page.. ♥
Oh, so cute 🐿️
Our squirrels also occupy former bird hollows. And in every possible way equip them.
