Chasing tails


Finally I managed to sneak up on one of the local squirrels bouncing around all day here. I do not know wether it belongs to the ground or tree variety as it is just about everywhere all the time. Just like an electron or so. The squirrel got its name via latin from the greek word skiouros, meaning shadow tailed due to its bushy tail.
Of course I know it's an ordinary red squirrel, sciuris vulgaris, don't let anybody else let you know nothing else.
