goth squirrel of the day

A black Eastern Grey Squirrel tentatively approaching my feet (in light hiking shoes). It has a floofy tail and one eyelid is slightly balding or swollen.

Closer crop of just the squirrel.

one of today's highlights was finding a patch of lamb's ear full of rather docile wool carder bees who let me get close enough for photos!

these bees get their name from their behaviour of scraping fluff for their nests from fuzzy plants like this. they are very cute.

A side view. These bees are adorably furry.
