193/365 - Flying Squirrels (Again)

(This is a different group than the one in the last photo, though.)

These cute little balls of fluff were living in a bluebird house, like the other group.

Aren't they sweet?

171/365 - Juvenile Flying Squirrels

There were (are?) flying squirrels nesting in a bluebird house at the corner of Granny and Grandpa L.'s back yard.

13/365 - Teal Squirrel

It's a dreary day, and I don't expect to be taking many photos, so this particularly uninspired photograph will have to do.

The squirrel came from Dollar Tree, I think. He was never very attractive, and I'd planned to paint him and use him as a garden ornament, but somehow I never did.

After he spent some years outside (fading to an even less attractive state), I finally brought him inside for painting. I wasn't sure how I wanted to paint it, but this wasn't what I had in mind. However, in a moment of madness, I gave the whole thing a wash of watered down teal paint-- leftovers from something else I'd just finished painting.

I can't decide if I like it this way or not... He looks kind of moss-grown, which I do like, so I'll probably leave him like this for a while.


Editing: The usual + a light Ortonizing & a hint of Vibrance.

Edited to add:
Well, I actually did take a few more photos today-- of a little snake I found on our fence.  I guess I'll leave this photo as the picture of the day, but if I'd known there'd be snake photos to be had later on, I'd have waited.  ;o)
