Two weeks ago, while I was leaving to work, I witnessed a small drama on my building. A small squirrel was stuck on my neighbor balcony (3rd flour). He was standing near the edge of it looking down and making weird cries, something between a small bird and a dog! He managed to climb up there and forgot which way to go back, I did not know it could happen to squirrels... Downstairs, another squirrel was standing on top of my car, it was answering to the upstairs squirrel and sounded as panicked as his friend!

I drove to work and when I went back in the evening the squirrels were gone. I had no news till last week-end and I was very worried ;-) Did it jump and hurt itself? Did the downstairs cat take advantage of the situation?

Last week-end, I saw them on the trees behind the building facing my balcony. They look great and are as crazy as always. Here is a little of squirrel action, shots taken from my balcony at the 3rd flour.

Chasing each other and recklessly running on the branches. Jumping from branches to branches 20ft above ground. This guy is actually running on the "roof access branch", speeding to jump to the roof.

Trying to impress the girls by doing pushups upside down holding the tree trunk. 20 pushups, not even tired.

Finally, like a top model, taking the pose and letting me take a picture, my new desktop background...
