Melissa's Squirrels

Melissa has a collection of squirrels in the back yard.

She keeps them well fed and they are fat.  They provide us with much entertainment.  She originally had one squirrel which she named Salem.  We don’t know exactly how many squirrels we have. We mostly see about 3 squirrels at a time.  I think 6 was the most we have seen at one time, but that is rare. I like taking photographs of the squirrels.  Sometimes they do some amazing things which I haven’t yet had the opportunity to catch with a camera.  Every once in a while possums and raccoons come to visit and feast on the squirrel food.  The raccoons tend to be more camera shy.
