The squirrels in Beacon Hill Park like to beg for food. They can be hard to photograph because they move so fast. This one was nice enough to pose for me.

I saw this little scottie in Blean Woods near Canterbury on Sunday. He had found a very muddy ditch to walk in and his legs and tummy were caked in mud.

This dog was getting a bit of relief from today's 82 degree heat, in the pond at Burgh Heath, Surrey.

This is a common type of Critter in Victoria. These Totems are located on the grounds of the Royal BC Museum.

What is neat about this pic is how I photographed it a second time. Click on the pic to jump to its Flickr page and click on the small (square) note on the further totem.

One could study these poles for a while and not figure out all their stories. That is how it should be.

it was warm yesterday and when I popped into the house I left the car window open. Tiptoes decided it made a nice sanctuary. Real critter behaviour

June Theme

We are all busy in OPB land but we haven't forgotten the month of June. Our theme for this month is Critters - animals, people, or things that look like them (mannequins, dolls, etc). Ideas for nonliving critters can be found here.
