Winter Walk

This week has been snowy, windy, cold and sometimes sunny here in NYC. During one of the sunny spurts, I took a walk down the street to the local college campus with my husband. I've featured this little colony of squirrels before, but they inspire me so much, I just had to share a few more pics with you again! Above is my rendition of a sour bunny. I hope you get a kick out of him.

Only one month left of winter! Spring is ahead...

Do you have a favorite outdoor spot in your neighborhood? A special park or garden? Please share with us below!

The Adorable Squirrels of NYC

He (or she?) literally was snacking on a tiny piece of cake. I guess this little one has good taste.

I've been very enamored by a particular group of squirrels that live near our apartment in New York. They are a little daintier and more colorful than your typical city squirrel. There are grey ones, black ones, and cinnamon colored ones living in this colony - and I couldn't tell you my favorite color. They are all pretty cute!

I love the silhouette of a squirrel. It's so lovely.

This time it's just a regular acorn.

This little one really wanted his picture taken. He walked right up to the lens to say hi.

Squirrel in the Snow

I recently had to come up a design for a poster contest - so this character was a natural choice after this week.

Amid all the squirrely excitement, we have a gang of robins that have been hanging out in our courtyard. I love them ;)

What wildlife is in your backyard this time of year?
