The only critters outside of a zoo are mice and squirrels. However, the mice are usually dead by the time I grab my camera. So – a squirrel it is.

There it was, this squirrel sitting in a bird feeder, oblivious to me approaching.
And then it did notice me and it took off in 0 to 100 in no time.
The word squirrel is said to be notoriously difficult to pronounce in English – at least for non-native speakers. For many Germans it’s a dead give-away (BTW: I can pronounce squirrel and have never understood the difficulties others have with the word). There is a word in the German language that does exactly the same: it outs people as non-natives even if their spoken German is otherwise flawless: Eichhörnchen. Now guess what it means.


Above you see a squirrel doing a disappearing act. I could also say: Oben sehen Sie ein Eichhörnchen, wie es verschwindet.

It may not look like a bunny but nevertheless: Happy Easter to all of you!

As beautiful as his tail is, he deserves to be shown in his full size. And yes, I’m sure it was a he. And no, I won’t make any jokes about a squirrel and his nuts.
