trees at beach

I spied this grey squirrel enjoying a nice day in the park in the Toronto Beaches area and had to take it’s picture as it foraged among the trees.

I actually took this photo in January 2006. Yes, it was winter time and we’d gone to the beach because it was such a nice warm winter day. Now, warm here in the winter time means that it was perhaps 10 Celsius which really isn’t very warm at all, but when you’ve been experiencing weeks of below freezing weather just about anything above zero is warm!

We expect today to be another nice winter day and I think that later in the afternoon we might take our Labrador retriever puppy to the beach for the first time. I’d love to see her have some fun in the water, but I think the water will be far too cold so she’ll have to settle for running on the beach. I think she’ll be happy with that.

Hopefully I’ll get some great photos!

I love it, very nice picture.
I had tough time, so I raided my daughter’s toybox and created some shots, like Where’s Waldo style…

ah, the hidden squirrel. I spend my time trying to keep the critters from pulling down my bird feeders! Great I spy!

Ha! At first I hadn’t scrolled down enough to see the bottom of your picture (i only scrolled as far as the path)
So I was searching the trees looking for the squirrel! ;)
I made it hard for myself!
Great picture!

Hey Tricia, long time, no see… Hey, I want to invite you to a new site: FohBoh, (http://www.fohboh.com/?i=28chblcn8r176) the online networking site for the International Restauarnt Industry. It’s got great information and interaction with restaurant professionals, executive chefs, videos of culinary techniques and recipe preparation, a vibrant wine community with internationally renowned somelliers and people like you and me just interested in food and drink. The site is worth checking out, and I think you’d find a great deal of value there for both yourself and your blog.

Have an awesome day!
