A quick walk in the garden this morning turned up some beauties!

We struggled to post on steemit yesterday and I decided to rather do two posts today.
This one is in the place of yesterday.
Hope you enjoy it.

This little guy ran up the steep steel roof with a nut in each of his front paws!

If you look closely, you will see that he has two nuts in each paw.

We are in the early days of Autumn here now and the squirrels are building up their nut stores for the winter. Our winters last for about two months and they have to have nuts for every day, as the trees are bare in winter and early spring. So amazing how mother nature has taught her residents how to survive.

We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity

Great shots that last one with the squirrel he is sure busy building up his reserves for winter, never knew they can carry so many at one time

The amazing part is to see how fast he ran up the steep incline of the roof with the nuts in his front paws JJ. I thought that he would need all four of his feet on the slippery slopes, but this guy clearly showed me how agile they are.

At the one side of the garden is a pre-cast paneled boundary wall. Concrete slabs slid in between posts on top of each other. The wall is about 30 millimeters thick and the guinea fowls often sit on it. Mister squirrel runs along the edge of the thin wall, jumps right over the guinea fowl and continues on his way.
I am going to try to get a shot the next time that I see this!
Blessings and I hope you guys have a great weekend.

You answered the question I thought of after leaving the comment which was I wonder how agile it was with the four nuts in its front paws .
WOW that would make for such an awesome shot of the Squirrel jumping over the fowl
