Seen in our garden on different occasions.

A red squirrel in a cherry tree is holding on to a branch with its front paws and pushing its nose up into the air. White chest and tummy.

A red squirrel on the top of a wooden fence with long furry ears standing up, looks down upon another one on a squirrel feeder eating nuts.

A red squirrel in the rain looks over the top of a wet wooden fence. It is to the right of the image looking half left. Only its head and shoulders and front paws can be seen. Rain falling can be seen.

A red squirrel with long ears runs along the top of a wooden fence. Its front paws are in the air and its wee mouth is open. It is running from right to the left of the image.

Dancing frogs, peacocks and unicorns outside the federal immigration building present a joyful contrast to the Trump administration's portrait of the Oregon city, they say.
