Gone Squirrel
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.

Now You Hear It, Now You Don’t
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.

The ultimate ginger
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.

Fast, faster, fastest
The English word squirrel and the German word Eichhörnchen have nothing in common except their meaning, yet in both languages they are considered to be amongst the most difficult words to pronounce and an almost fail-safe recognition of non-mother-tongue speakers (btw: I am very proud of my pronunciation of squirrel, apparently I pass the squirrel test, I have more difficulties with other words).
For some reason or other I come across squirrels almost exclusively in cemeteries. They seem to watch me as much as I watch them.
On their hind legs the little creatures look especially cute and somehow human.
Another cemetery, a different squirrel.
The squirrels of the Munich West cemetery are black rather than chestnut brown.
Either this one let me get closer or I’ve become a better photographer.
And this is the only non-cemetery squirrel in my collection: I’ve caught it literally and figuratively red-handed, raiding the bird feeder.
