LOL~Love, love, love this photo! If only they were as adorable and cute as this I wouldn't mind that they climb into the feeders and dig up my plants and bulbs~Well, I wouldn't mind so much! gail

I was so distracted by the butterfly wings I didn't notice the squirrel until I read Gail's comment. (Even then, I spent a few moments wondering how a bright pink butterfly would dig up bulbs and why it would bother to climb feeders.)

Now I've let my eyes read the picture - brilliant!

He looks like a squirrel fairy or maybe an angel. Naaah! He's a squirrel. Funny.~~Dee

Birdwoman said...

Priceless! I've got lots of those fairies in my yard. I must admit, I rather enjoy them in spite of their depredations on the one bird feeder that they can get to. They repay me for all that with their entertainment value.

Hoooweee! MMD, that is amazing! She looks pretty in pink. Makes you almost think the squirrels are cute, but only in a daydream. :-)

What a fun photo~

Helen Yoest @ Gardening With Confidence said...

A perfectly wonderful dream. H.

Diane said...

Cute!
When you start *actually* dressing your squirrels in little outfits, that's when we'll know you've gone over the edge :)

Carole said...

Ha, this made me laugh right out loud! Thanks, I needed that :)

Gatsbys Gardens said...

Where did you buy the squirrel outfit?

Eileen

Carol said...

Golly those squirrels do dress up fancy-like there at Squirrelhaven!

Shady Gardener said...

Way too cute! ;-) I think I have some "wanna-be" squirrels here... Shall I send them over? lol

Shady Gardener said...

I meant to write: "Perchance to dream..." ;-)

Oh, the wonders of Photoshop!

Bwah! I hooted when I saw this photo, causing a tired cranky cat to leap off the chair behind me, muttering and sputtering. I do hope never to encounter such a squirrel, personally. Are you sure you're healing okay and not having hallucinations from pain? ;-)

Rose said...

Lol, I'm wondering how you managed to get the squirrel to hold still while you put the tutu skirt on him/her:) I think you might be suffering from gardening withdrawal, MMD:)

Lisa at Greenbow said...

Some how I would not be surprised to see a squirrel in a tutu but the butterly wings would probably be around their mouth as they eat the butterfly. Ha... Great photo.

Plantaliscious said...

That squirrel has an evil stare - an evil fairy squirrel methinks...

Meredehuit ♥ said...

Hilarious! Still laughing.

Mr. McGregor's Daughter said...

Gail - they start to look a lot less cute.

Ester - too funny!

Dee - nothing angelic about it.

Birdwoman - they still owe me big time.

FG - you should see what the squirrels look like in my nightmares.

Darla - I did have fun with this, like drawing a mustache on a picture of someone you don't like.

Helen - thanks.

Diane - the men in the white coats would be summoned immediately.

Carole - I'm glad you enjoyed the silliness.

Eileen - the out is my own design.

Carol - That's why all the squirrels want to live in Squirrelhaven.

Shady - no, please, do not send squirrels. I have more than I need or could possibly want.

Mr. McGregor's Daughter said...

ROR - I'm really getting into Photoshop. It's helping to pass the time while I'm laid up.

Jodi - I'll know I'm hallucinating when I see the squirrels start reburying everything they've dug up.

Rose - I'm suffering from that & cabin fever. I need someone to bring in some of my forced bulbs from the garage.

Lisa - do they eat butterflies?

Plantalicious - fairies are not harmless, benign creatures. The fey are tricky & dangerous.

Meredehuit - :^D

Layanee said...

Wishing will not make it happen. You are getting very good at this. I will expect fabulous pictures of all your friends with any imperfection artistically removed. LOL

Kathy said...

Just saw this. You are really getting good with the Photoshopping.

Cindy, MCOK said...

I'm with Layanee. Make me look 15 years younger and 20 pounds thinner, please!

Dee said...

Too funny!
