The squirrel appears to be approaching the bench on
tip toe seemingly not wanting to disturb Cocoa (chocolate Lab) or --
more likely --not wanting to attract his attention. We didn't notice the
squirrel in the viewfinder when the photo was taken. |

Squirrel Hotel -- (above and below)
You can almost always see squirrels in or around this tree (on the west
side of the park, a bit north of the Avenue U parking lot). The squirrel
retreated to his perch (see arrow below) with the peanut we pitched to
him. |

Angels of Marine Park -- Gerritsen Beach
resident Julie Fuchs, with the help of her husband, Frank, has planted and
maintains a number of small gardens on the periphery of the Oval. On this
day, Julie, with the help of her adorable miniature poodles, gathered up
debris. The Fuchs do all the work as volunteers and at their own expense.
The park staff provides the bags and carts the material away. Anyone
wanting to donate flats of impatiens or other plantings can drop them off
at the field house (near the main entrance on Fillmore Avenue). |
