A great fence for basking in the sun!
This little black squirrel is moulting.
Squirrels moult from head to tail in the spring, and from tail to head in the fall.

ReplyDeletethat moulty squirrel sure is soaking up the sunshine! *VBS*
Great shot of the squirrel! He looks like he's having a bad hair day.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute picture! I didn't know that about squirrels.
ReplyDeleteWould you look at that?!!! I love it. How could anyone NOT love this pose. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen Well that is one relaxed Squirrel. Love the fence post.
ReplyDeleteLove your squirrel shot as always, and he is indeed having a "bad hair" day, isn't he!! The squirrels eating on my window sill look very much the same -- but losing their fur hasn't diminished their appetite!! Hope you have a lovely weekend, Karen!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletetoo funny! had no idea on the moulting process. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for linking up, karen! :)
What an adorable pose...he was posing, wasn't he? Interesting information about how they moult.
ReplyDeleteA teachable moment! And I learned more about my nemesis!
ReplyDeleteCatching some rays!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite the squirrel ~ great shot! xoxo

What a sweet photo !!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Such a sweet picture for Good Fences Karen. I didn't realize squirrels molted too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun shot!
ReplyDeletetoo cute for words!! i don't think mine moult...at least i have never seen them looking this way. i have, however, seen mine in this position!!
ReplyDeleteI learn something new every day! He looks all tuckered out..probably from stealing bird seed!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture!!! He looks tired and needs the rest. Learned something today, did not know that they would moult.
ReplyDeleteThats what i call CHILLED !!!

He is really going to look like a " skinned squirrel" very soon. Super photo, you were there at the perfect time. Cheers, Jean.
ReplyDeleteHow incredible. Brilliant photo and I loved learning about the 'reverse moulting'. Thank you. And a great meme too.
ReplyDeleteOh my! He was tired! What a great photo of a neat fence! Enjoy your day! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI never knew this about the molting, Karen. Really interesting, and this little guy look so content there in the wonderful sunshine.
ReplyDeleteThat might explain the unexplained fur tufts in the lawn, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to be basking in the sun too!
This one has personality.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha, brilliant Squirrel on the fence.
ReplyDeleteI have too many squirrels in my yard. However, none like this fellow.
ReplyDeleteJust chillin out while basking in the sunshine! I didn't know squirrels moulted.
ReplyDeleteNature's amazing. Now if we could only molt aging human skin the same way!
ReplyDeleteVery cute shot, a relaxing spot for the squirrel to lay! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe molting process is so interesting. What a cute pose for the camera. :)
ReplyDeleteReally! I had no idea squirrels molted that way. I'm not even sure I've ever noticed that they molt (I am so ignorant)...I think I just thought sometimes that they didn't look very healthy. I wonder why they do that opposite way in the two seasons.
ReplyDeleteThis guy sure does look like he's taking a sun bath!
OH my gosh he looks "tuckered" and is just so cute. I had no idea squirrels molt. I've never seen the ones here do that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic shot. That little squirrel is so adorable.
ReplyDeleteReally...I did not know that
ReplyDeleteI did not know about the moulting business of squirrels. Cute shot!
ReplyDeleteDearest Karen;
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a lovely shot of a squirrel cozily resting on the fence♡♡♡
I had sweet smile after offering lunch♪
So sorry my belated comment; I'm catching up for friends now.
Have a wonderful coming weekend.
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
orchid again; I've noticed that your friends are mentioning about molting. What an interesting observation♪♪♪
ReplyDeleteLove you always, Miyako*
That squirrel looks so comfy and content!
ReplyDeleteLove it! This is a perfect example of being in the right place at the right time and you didn't forget your camera at home. Smiling here.
ReplyDeletethe black squirrel seems to be enjoying the fence quite well. he's so cute. thanks so much for stopping by my blog. have a great day~
ReplyDeleteHe looks very relaxing, and the moulting info is a new lesson for me :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot! He looks like he needs a day at the spa to fix that moulting coat. :)
ReplyDeleteA great shot of the black squirrel. I like how he's leaning his head in the shot. Well done.
