Eastern Grey Squirrel: "Rusty"
Where have you come from friendly neighbour of Nature, may I ask?
Vitality breathing in the fresh air of the Spring season.

Xanthic shades of rusty gold raise questions of their origin.
I took these photos April 6, 2025. I was met by this unique Eastern Grey Squirrel.
In more than 5 years of hiking at this park, I have never seen an Eastern Grey Squirrel with these colours. I see shades of black, grey, brown, red, copper, and gold.
I had left an offering of peanuts for my new friend. I hope to see them again.

Rusty rocks the reds,
copper, gold tones on fine fur.
Warms up cold spring greys.
Gorgeous!
