Squirrel Sunday.......the chase is on

I'm still finding our little "herd" of squirrels (what's the group name for squirrels?) very entertaining when they come out to chase each day."Let's go the other way for awhile....I'm getting dizzy!"
I wondered if this was a male chasing a female. The top one is fluffier and more orange. The bottom one was paler in color and a thinner tail.

"Caught you!"

"Can I whisper a secret to you?"

Up in the tree it gets hard to see where one squirrel starts and another ends. Same pair here.

"Ah.....please be my girlfriend?"

"Pretty please?"

"How's this for a great restaurant? Lots of acorns and all for free!"

Pounce

"Where did she go?"

"Oh, well....there's still food here."

"Hey....where is everyone? I want to play some more!!"

Can't see much of the squirrels, but I count three tails here!

I wanted to show how well that orange belly and tail show up among the many branches and leaves. Makes tracking them a little easier.

This is typical of how they just seem to "pour" out of the trees from all directions and race around so fast, I can't keep up with them! Unfortunately I am shorter than the bushes that grow next to the deck and I was afraid to try to go down in the yard, so there is a lot of irritating bits in the way.
