Squirrel Invasion

There is a large oak tree near my deck. I really enjoy watching the birds and critters that hang out in the tree from time to time.

Recently, squirrels have been leaping from the tree onto my deck and are scampering around here and there. I thought they were kind of cute until they started climbing the screens on my sliding glass door and trashing my potted plants.

I think I am going to have to trim back a couple of the tree's branches so they will not have such a handy jumping off spot for their adventures. They are very sweet and have reddish tails and fur.

This was done from a photo, they just would not "pose" for me no matter how nicely I asked.
