Red Squirrel With White Boots, I love it when a photo turns out to be something I wasn’t even expecting until you look at the photo later. When I took this photo today, I was only noticing the red fur down his back.

But when I looked at it closer, what a fun little surprise. It looks like he has white boots on his back feet, when it is at optical illusion. It is snow on the branch right in front of his foot.

Here he looks like he is just taking a break enjoying the view.

The American Red Squirrel, We had a touch of blue sky’s today making for a colorful background for this little guys picture today.

The most noticeable characteristics of the American red squirrel are the tail and the eye ring. The tree squirrel’s tail is bushy and dark red with hints of a white outline. The eye ring is a thick, white circle around the rodent’s black eyes.

American red squirrels are about 12 inches and have grayish, red, or rust-colored fur with a white belly. Sometimes a black stripe can be seen on the sides.
