Welcome, Dennis. Nice photos for your intro. :thumbsup

FYI, a few of the "breed-specific sub-forums (http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4)" have some variation on a "favorite photos" thread where you'll find a lot of good photos for that particular breed. I know that there are such threads for gray-, fox-, and ground-.

I don't think there's one for reds, though. Yet. :poke

It's always great to have more people contribute more fuzzer photos. It's especially interesting for many of us here in the U.S. to see squirrels from other parts of the world.



BTW, your squirrel #1 would probably be a natural for U.S. football.

squirel 1 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/dennisgreenwood/6309560723/) by den9112 (http://www.flickr.com/people/dennisgreenwood/), on FlickrFascinating coloring... are those "brown racing stripes" down the front legs normal for your grays there? Not to mention the brown face. Quite different than the majority of our grays here.

I've been lucky enough to photograph some rather unusual squirrels here, too. Including a rather strangely-colored fox squirrel and an albino gray squirrel (the latter not really being all that unusual here). In the "Post your favorite 'Grey Squirrel' pictures" thread that I already mentioned, you'll see a number of variations in the gray squirrels (the grays are by far the most common squirrels in my area in the middle of the U.S.)
