Thank you, Lussi! Me too like Mathias. Now seems to be the time, when he is interested on Silk ear! We are happy, I hope, that we will see him a couple of times during some time. I think he really has some traits that make him so cute in the human eyes.

Silk ear is perhaps the most devoted visitor. Others don't come that regularly. Now that squirrels are changing fur and loosing the ear tassels it will be not easy to recognize each one of those that I believe I know. I have made many mistakes..

It was in the fall 2009 that I noticed him ( I believe so!! :laugh: ) for the first times, and I'm sure that also Silk ear was among the first visitors then.

This is Mathias in the 1st November 2009, he was younger then, relative big roundish head, short body and paws, big toes, but his way to sit that way is so.. I love it. In the next spring I saw him walking, jump and run after or close to Silk ear some times, along the telephone line, on the roof, on the rock etc.. and on the feeder, one after the other.

Young Mathias, 1st December 2009

I think there was Anja today at 18:00. I took lots of photos, but photobucket just do not work on my PC today :cry: Now the page shows white, soon it goes black with words 'sorry'.. :puzzled: , sometimes it looks promising, but no, at once all stops. I have no idea what's the problme. I have cleaned my PC, shut it, open again, begun again. Nothing. I just go back and forth.. wait wait, .. Now happened something!!

:slap:

She was there at 18:05 and she left 18:25

edit, on the next day, 19th May: All pics in the next posts on the 18th May will change place. Pics will be now in time order. The first 13 pics are from the first five minutes. After that my new camera's battery took end.

The three first photos. It is Anja. Her fur is getting better. The bald area look good, red brown fur is growing there. I recognized her of a scar she has under her right cheek on the neck. more pics to come. Photobucket insisted to upload only those three pics.

She is .. she has pups already or she will soon have.. what do you think? She is more thick than Silk ear, anyway, I see. :laugh:

"My" photobucket works, I even had 2 tabs with it open, because here the internet connection is slow today. I already rebooted the PC and reset the router, but did not help, the speed test shows it's very slow. :rant:

Olga, maybe you exhausted your bandwith?

That is very possible.. I don't know how could I help the matter :puzzled:

Oh.. yes.. Now Photobucket opened again the 'bulk upload' page. I'll try again! The are tens of pics, I have to look them first to not put too many duplicates.

It takes for some 9-10 minutes, if the program works!! I do always hope!

so far on the right? :shock:

I think, if it is a bandwith problem, you'll have to wait until your new month is starting. I hope it is not and it is just a glitch there.

Maybe the nipple seems to be at the right because she is so round?
