Now if I could just get a good backrub…
What better way to spend a warm, lazy summer day than laying out in the shade?
This week’s Saturday Squirrel knows how to relax. Stashing acorns for the coming winter? That can wait…
Who needs the beach when you have a third floor deck with an amazing view?
He just needs a margarita and a good book about squirrels in love to be completely chillaxed…
It might help if, you know, the paparazzi went away!
Sorry! I’ll leave you to sloth out on that branch now…
Have a great weekend everyone!

Even squirrels need a little down time. Great shot!
I love when they’re literally sitting ducks for a good picture. It took several tries to get him in focus though… stupid camera!
I really love it when squirrels do that up in the trees – chilling out watching the world go by. Or maybe they’re waiting for the right person to pass by so they can chuck an acorn at them?

That’s why I only take pictures from the window!
He looks like he’s channeling a Jaguar lounging in a tree!
He should beware of real jaguars (or at least their cousins) who prowl my neighborhood. One of my favorite old hood cats, Gypsy, used to love to climb trees. But she showed very little interest in squirrels, oddly enough…
We’d do well emulating the chill-ness of squirrels. Plus you gotta give them props because they could give a whit about what others think.
Yep times two…
Now that squirrel knows how to relax and just take it all in. An object lesson for us all!
Indeed…
Cuteness personified. Oh my goodness what a precious little face.
He’s a cutie, and he’s the same squirrel I got really cute pics of in the snow earlier this year. He’s an all weather supermodel…
No squirrels here. The thorns from the cactus are too much.
Someone should pick them all off for them…
He doesn’t seem to be bothered by your camera, he’s just so chillaxed.
He’s kinda flashing me a look in the second pic. But he got some good entertainment in the other two squirrels on the ground who were fighting over the food I’d put out…
I expect he’s quite an important squirrel and has a crew of squirrels to do menial tasks such as nut collection.
I hope he pays his crew well, or they might keep the location of his nuts a secret…
We all need a little break now and then.
Especially when it’s hot and humid, and you can’t take off your fur coat…
He’s so cute! He looks kind of unimpressed by life though. I feel like I should to do something to cheer him up. Maybe I should invite him into my hoophouse so he can root around and dig up things like the squirrel that somehow broke in there over the weekend!
You made me look up hoophouse and I learned something today! I can’t imagine what it would be like in one of those things in this hot and muggy weather we’ve been having… I think my squirrel would just stick with the tree deck.
