life in my garden

[boxofdelights]

This squirrel is very young, and unfortunately not afraid of people. It was between me and that big rock when my husband went for his camera. There is an adult female, probably this one's mother, looking down at me from the crabapple tree. So the squirrel is not abandoned, but engages in food-seeking from humans. I don't know whether this is related, but the juvenile has lost most of its body fur.

ETA: He did get a closer shot:
