My husband always teases me when I say squirrels are cute. Hé claims they are rats with good PR. I like the black squirrels in Canada but these muticolored rodents definitely win the beautiful squirrel contest.

@bootsanne   They sure are funny to watch, aren't they?  A street near me is named Ohio St. and is completely lined with Buckeye trees, so you can imagine how many squirrels are around here.  Unfortunately, they often want the nuts on the other side of the street, which can lead to tragedy.

For years I had a big ash tree right outside my office window, and there were a couple squirrels that used to chase each other up and down it, which was a nice diversion from looking at my computer screen.  We even have a couple black squirrels around there.  Unfortunately, that tree became the victum of the Emerald Ash Borer beetle, and had to be removed last year.  I really miss it!

@just bee   We in the squirrel community refer to these guys as rainbow hippie squirrels.  Is maybe not so politically correct to call them that though.

Perhaps it would be more PC to refer to them as "batiks."

Definitely a resemblance.
