I recently posted another photo of this little one, but never could get the color just right, it seemed. But, he/she gave me another chance, and a cute pose. I hope this one is better.

Another good catch with personality! I never realized how fine their front paws are - almost like a raccoon’s. The golden fur underneath is really nice. Never knew they had that either. The branches frame nicely. Do you prune occasionally to keep this framing space?
Thanks! I normally trim that viburnum so that it doesn’t get unruly. But this spring, it started growing over that wall, and those branches had some incredibly profuse and beautiful blooms on them, so I let them grow. This fall, I’ll probably give it a little trim to keep it tidy.
@Gary_Minish Thanks, Gary. I appreciate your comments.
@Vanessa_Hill Thanks, Vanessa. He WAS telling me something. “Bring my feeder back!” I had a platform ground feeder for the birds there. But he/she kept coming and laying in the feeder and eating all the bird seed, so I had to stop putting it out.
