This little critter sure wanted some of that delicious birdseed I have in the feeder outside. It had to stretch out pretty far just to reach it but did manage to get something to eat after a lot of work. Of course, I'm still curious why it didn't just grab something from the pile of seed on the ground below it. Seemed like an awful lot of extra work.

I was hoping it would be a little cooler on my walk today. I don't normally mind hotter temps. But, when it's really humid, it does make the walk a little more uncomfortable than I prefer. That did not turn out to be the case, however. The temps were a little better than they've been the past couple of days (I actually had to get our air conditioner out of the shed this weekend). However, it still was kind of muggy and, as a result of that, I did keep my walk somewhat short today. Here are some of the photos I still managed to get:

It looked like it was going to rain this morning (it did a little later on) so I decided to play it safe and ended up taking a short walk in the park up the street from me rather than a longer walk. There isn't as much activity in that park. But, I did see this squirrel as I entered it.
