Resting Squirrel

Resting Squirrel

Summer of 2021
I was sitting in the back yard and this silly little guy wanted to play. He was running up and down the tree with other squirrels, ducking under my chair, and hiding under the little kid's playground slide that is outside for my grandkids. He was not deterred at all that I was sitting in the chair he was playing under.

It was almost as if he was posing for pictures. This little guy brought a lot of joy to my day, just watching him be carefree and silly. Nothing does the heart and soul good like nature. 

Is there anyone else out there that loves squirrels like I do? I could just sit and watch them play. They are so adorable. 

Here are some of my squirrel photos that I have taken and put on products in my Zazzle store. 
Thank you for reading and supporting my photography and art!

Even on peaceful days, you can look at the Veteran Memorial statues, each depicting a different war and just enjoy the shady lawn. There is a beautiful pavilion, a water fountain and park benches and picnic tables. Music in the Park When the weather turns nice in Platteville, they start "Music in the Park." Every Thursday different local bands play, food trucks line the streets and they serve ice cream and Platteville Root beer on occasion. Kids dance, adults dance, and the park is full of people who brought their own lawn chairs and blanekts to lounge on. Just remember to bring your bug spray. Biting gnats and mosquitoes are a problem during the early summer months! Chalk Art in the Park Another annual tradition in Platteville is to do an art contest using chalk.
