| | | Out for a walk today
So today I had to go out to do some shopping, and I decided to go get a few photos. I figured I'd go over to Edwards Gardens and get a few shots. I stopped at my local Supermarket and ended up talking to a wee Scottish woman about kilts and all things Scottish, it was a good day so far.
A wee squirrel came right up to me and posed, then when he saw I didn't have any nuts for him he ran off.
There was a class of kids at Edwards Gardens, the comments ranged from "Cool" to "Aren't you cold?" It was good to see the how readily I was accepted by the kids. Anyway here are a few photos.

Was the squirrel attempting to answer the question by looking up your Kilt?
(or was probably jealous because they arent taylored to squirrel sizes yet...)

Phil C | I think he was seeing if I'd brought him some nuts. He really did get close I did not use a zoom I think he was about 2 feet in front of me when he posed. So I think either he wanted food or wanted to pose.

Jamie | I figured with the tripod and all I'd forgo the walking stick today, I suppose I was living dangerously.

I remember how cheeky and unafraid Toronto squirrels are!
One sat by me and literally begged outside the ROM!
