Photos from Florida's Capital City (and occasionally a few from other interesting places I have been fortunate enough to visit in my travels!)

White Squirrel
This illusive little squirrel lives in my neighborhood and I'm not sure if there is more than one, but every time I see it, I don't have my good camera with me. This picture was taken with my iPhone on a particularly gray day, so I apologize for the quality, but the gloomy surroundings do make its white fur more noticeable at least. I want to point out that this is NOT an albino, but a rare color variation of the common gray squirrels which are found everywhere in my neighborhood and regularly raid my bird feeders. If you look closely, you can see a gray stripe running down its back and some gray on its face. I wouldn't mind having this one in my yard though. Maybe I could get a better picture!

Never seen a white one before! Peculiar.
Seeing is believing, even if the photo isn't the best. ;-)
Amazing little creature Lois. The colour certainly makes the white squirrels easier to spot!
OH MY! I've heard of white squirrels but I have never seen one except in photos.
Someone posted a black squirrel the other day and I've not seen one of them in Florida. Nor have I ever seen a white squirrel anywhere. Is this one an aberration or are there really white squirrels in the trees hiding from my eyes? :) I think your shot came out very well.
Winter livery???
Come on little one, you have a standing invitation!
Wow, cool! I have never seen a white squirrel. We only have the gray squirrels here. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy new week!
What a ghostly fellow. :)
Amazing, I've never seen one like that!

So this week I saw a photo of a black squirrel and now a white one. I have never seen either in person.
How cool!
Lindo e bem apanhado.
Um abraço e bom Domingo.
Oh, how different and fun and beautiful!! I love it!! And what a great capture, Lois!! Thanks so much for sharing!! I've never seen a white squirrel either!!
Hello there, little critter!
Yesterday I saw a black squirrel, now a white one: there is a lot a do not know about these critters...
Oh, yeah! This'll be great when the snows come . . . to Tallahassee. Hmm, may be a while.
