Hazelnut Heaven!
It's THAT time of the year once again and every squirrel in Stanley Park zooms in on the delights of hazelnuts tumbling from the tree every few seconds; the wee animals were going NUTS!
The expression on the Eastern Gray squirrel's facesyas it all as he reaches the nut. The outer cover is so sharp and prickly - but they manage to chew through it with ease - I can barely stand to pick them up!
"Blackie" on the right had chased his treasure clear across the paved path and finally landed on it - he's a sub-species of the Eastern Gray that was introduced to Vancouver in 1909.
