Sharing the beauty of Northern Michigan.
Welcome!
I love "Up North" and have appointed myself the unofficial travel ambassador for Northern Michigan. There are so many great things to do - visit the State Parks, ski, snowmobile, view elk, see the moose of Isle Royale, hike, kayak, visit a winery, bird watch and so much more. Please join me in my travels.

Oh Shelley-what a doll! This is a really cute shot. I love it!
He/she looks well fed. You only have one? I'll be happy to ship you some more if you need them - take your pick of chipmunks, red squirrels, gray squirrels, woodchucks, and many smaller creatures - singles, pairs, whole families.
I could send some to. . Great photo of the little begger.
Patsy
what trust in those eyes.
A terrific, awesome shot!!
Oh. My. Gosh!!!
And I love that quote.
He is so cute.
Shelly, I don't know if I can get any nicer, but I love the quote. :)
Shelley-He is so cute...it looks like he is posing for you! :) O' and I like the quote...it's something very important to remember. When are you coming up again?
I want him! He's beyond cute.
That is a great picture, he looks like a little furry man! A friendly, furry man. How close were you to him to get this picture?
That squirrel doesn't look real..How cute a photo.
Ha ha, that is so funny. It doesn't even look real. It looks like a actor squirrel from the movies.
What a great shot!
Looks like little squirrel is saying "You want to take a picture of little ol' me? Why go right ahead!" Too cute. Welcome back!
Lovin' those adorable feet.
Adorable! He is definately not a shy squirrel. An animal that poses for his picture is more of a Ham! As always, Great qote to go along with your picture!
Aw!
Shelley,
What did you do to get such an intense look from him..hide his peanuts?? His look is one of, "I know you!" lol
cute capture!!
That is got to be the cutest squirrel I've ever seen. Great shot. I wonder what it's thinking?
How cute is he??? Kinda chunky too!
Adorable squirrel portrait. That belongs on a shirt in your shop!
Hehehe.... it's adorable... sweet little guy!!
Thank you everyone for your visit and nice comments!
Chris, Bennie & Patsy - no more squirrels please - lol!!
Nature Lovin - I think we'll be up this weekend - but I think it's suppose to rain??
And he is very thankful you do.

My but I love the photo. I feed squirrels too--with a homemade feeder that I built just for them. I also build houses and mount them in the Ponderosa Pine tree in my backyard. Plus, I used to have a network of bridges for them to move about the yard, but I got tired of those and took them down. My squirrels are Chickarees (aka Douglas Squirrels) that are found nowhere but near the upper West Coast.
Hey, but I AM nice LOL (your quote).
Shelly, I finally moved into the 1100 and some square feet, and it's quite a feat to get our already reduced amount of stuff in there. Didn't realize it would be this challenging - but the unpacking is almost done!
Of course we have also to contend with a home association and gates (it's a gated community) - my hubby calls it teasingly "the compound" (that's what they call it in Africa)instead of the condo.
Are you ready for the photo? Nice shot.We don`t have the possibility to capture something like this.
