Fresh Air Photo Tuesday, June 23rd

Perfectly disguised is this squirrel, taking a sip — maybe even a dip!   This little guy is a genius for finding such swanky surroundings at the U of A.   Estella,…one smart cookie herself, thought we needed to see this scene of serenity … and for that we are grateful!

Estella could earn a living taking pictures.   There is a small fountain and pond between the Arts building and the Hub mall on the campus.   This is Estella’s lunch hour escape on nice days — and this particular day was June 2nd.

DID YOU KNOW?   The squirrel’s nest is called a DREY.   They have a wide range of calls, but communicate mainly through their tails, using them as a signalling device.   A twitch of their tail means they are uneasy or suspicious.    Squirrels identify each other, and their food — by smell.

Don’t squirrel away your time!   Spend some of it by snapping and sending us your Fresh Air Photo(s).   & we — and you, will see it on tv!
