Patches at the Garden Gate

Not too many opportunities for blips today. The squirrels, led by Patches, were out in force this morning so I took advantage of their peanut frenzy. I've found that it's a good idea to have a blip in the camera for emergencies so even though I intended to do somthing more significant, I was glad I'd taken a few pictures this morning.

I call this little fellow Patches because he seems to have some odd markings which I hope are just that, odd markings, and not some skin problem. He certainly seems bright eyed enough and if the number of peanuts he runs off with is any indication, then he's feeling just fine.
