  1. Cute guy! And such a candid shot. I'm betting he has a few acorns squirreled away somewhere.

    1. Yes, probably including the ones I scattered about in hope of a few more mighty oaks.

    2. An infallible method for propagating oaks. I collect acorns in the woods every fall, and then dole them out to underprivileged urban squirrels, who eat some of them and bury the rest in out of the way places. There are now a number of meter-high oaks saplings about as a result. ;)
