Go here if you would like to play this Sunday meme: Camera Critters
I was going to use this for Friday Sky Watch because the squirrel ran to the top of the tree (see that blue sky from yesterday?) to escape from me but my camera "shot" it anyway! .
I got a squirrel at the park this morning, too. I walked home from church--a couple of miles of it anyway before calling home for a ride the rest of the way. The squirrel was hanging out in the park and did not know what to make of this lady with the camera.
JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House.
Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

I love it! We've had such a variety of critters for the CC premier. I love taking photos of squirrels and watching them play.
Thank you SO much for joining Camera-Critters. It means so much to me, and I can't wait to see more of your critter photos each week.
There is always a squirrel at my house every some that likes to run across the deck railing. Great pic!
Oh that is a nice photo of the sky and even better fitting for this meme.
sometimes we just get that one lucky shot,
Good shot of the squirrel against that pretty blue sky.
that's a great shot, Paulie! Keep them coming!!
Paulie: You certainly got a nice photo of the grey squirrel looking around. The black squirrel is a variation of the grey.
This is what generally happens when I try to photograph these little buggers! They see my camera and run!
What a good capture! Squirrels can be pretty fast!
A good pic for the meme. It's the first squirrel I've seen for it. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
You were lucky to get this one close like this.

What an interesting effect created by the shape and texture of the tree. The squirrel definitely looks like he was caught in the cross hairs.
Please pardon my late visit. We don't have squirrels in are area but I find them very interesting animals. Great shot.
