Damned people and the property they think they own!
They say good fences make good neighbors…. but don’t tell that to the wildlife that co-habitates on your grounds. What’s a critter gotta do to not feel like they’re in jail around 
here? No doubt, this guy’s coveting all those delicious pine cones that are lying around on the other side of the barrier. Poor fella looks a little despondent over the situation…
Oh, who am I kidding? Squirrels have about as many problems scaling fences as they do the trees they make into their personal playgrounds. If this squirrel wanted to get at those yummy pine cones, he could cross the border in a heartbeat. But you gotta admit that this photo does seem to tell a story of one poor Saturday Squirrel being thwarted by mankind’s desire to keep others out of their yards…
Have a great weekend everyone!
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
Fences.
The jungle gym of squirrels.
I wish they wouldn’t think of the transformer on the pole out back as a high voltage jungle gym…
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence AND the acorns are always bigger over there too I bet!

The people on the other side of the fence probably don’t feed them…. but they must have all the cool stuff.
Squirrels are resourceful that’s for sure, lol.
And sometimes, they can even remember where they put their resources….
Poor little guy. Climb, squirrel, climb!
Oh dear, I left out the barbed wire above the top of the photo…
Only a lid on top will keep that guy from goodies on the other side of the fence. 😊
Or a guard mutt on the other side….
A poignant photo with your story to match. So close yet so far.
The squirrel does look quite dramatically concerned about how he’s going to get at those pine cones. He’s fooling us all…
