Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Ever seen Squirry change color overnight? Now we have a black squirrel?

Descriptions of the photos are underneath each photo.

For those that do not know, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde were the same guy with two personalities.
Imagine our shock when a black Squirry appeared to plead for nuts. We knew that he was gray yesterday and today he was black.
Well I was totally confounded until thankfully I found the reason for his overnight change!
Have a look at the reason!

Yesterday he looked like this?

And today he looks like this!
How is this possible?

Here is the reason for his color change. They are replacing the old grass of a thatched roof and squirry forages in the old heaps for insects to eat.

This video will show you how squirry dodges an Egyptian goose in our garden!

And now for some sky shots!
I like to place a variety in my posts!

The moon was indeed a lovely sight!

A human dragonfly was approaching the scene!

A Sacred Ibis bird family was on its way home!

The sun was also on its way home!

Some pigeons were having a late afternoon rest!

And finally the setting sun colored the mountain peaks!

And That's All Folks!

Yes indeed, we were confused, but so glad to find that the squirrel's color change was not natural. Imagine having a chameleon squirrel hahaha
But let me tell you that there are a lot of humans like this. What they tell you today is not the same as what they tell you tomorrow.

In our charity we often meet people like this. They promise today to help us by donating to our cause and tomorrow they all of a sudden have many excuses. I am sure that they also do this to their partners. What a life to go about with a worthless name. But I am not here to moan today, just to say that if you don't value your name, then you are lost.

We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for your visit to a post by @papilloncharity

Thank you my friend and sadly I don't have any tokens to give you in return.
Maybe I must have a look into these things.
That color change was dramatic, as at first we thought he was ill, but thankfully now he is back to his original gray colors.
Blessings!

Dont worry bout giving in return, I have enough that I can give some out and with time maybe yours will build up so you can, I am glad to share them

It was cool how you ent into detective mode and worked out why it had changed so drastically

We like to give back whenever we can JJ. I actually want to have a look at the tipu thing.
Whenever I see something like the squirrel's sudden color change I get fixated on finding the solution.
Blessings!

I can be the same thing whenI see something and it intrigues me I have to research Nd find out about it

Cheers and Blessings

Well done for the creativity.

Thank you my friend.
Blessings!

We get a mix of grey and black squirrels around here. It's a mutation, but I don't think they have special powers :)

@stevec
He is thankfully back to his normal color after the rain Sir Steve and I just took some great videos of him with Marian outside. Will post them tomorrow.
Blessings and thank you!
Btw. What did you think about the video here? Okay or not?

Here's an idea about tomorrow's videos.

That's a cute picture. Squirrels in some places are so used to people. I think they are pretty smart animals. I saw a documentary years ago where they learned how to get food from a very complex set of obstacles.

You know what you are talking about, as we often misjudge the intelligence of animals. To me personally the crow is the most intelligent. We have a nesting pair over here and the male continues to air bomb me because we feed the wild Egyptian geese and he thinks that I am on their side. hahaha
Blessings!

Brilliant photography 👏👌🙏

Thank you my dear friend.
Blessings!

So, the little guy went to the hair saloon, eh? 😂

Excellent photos! Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha, he went to mother nature's hair saloon my friend.
Glad you liked the photos.
Blessings!

All right, what would it take to make his fur pink?

Will he be known as Disco Squirrel after that?

Wow! What a great idea and will have to investigate.
I could chuck a nut into a can of pink watercolor paint, but I doubt that he would dive in hahaha
Blessings and thank you.

That is wicked cool, @papilloncharity! I had no idea the change happened that fast. Love your other captures too! 😊

@tipu curate

Upvoted 👌

Glad that you liked the post my friend.
Thankfully after the rain he is back now to his original gray colors.
In fact he cropped up today and I managed to get him and Marian on video.
Will post it tomorrow.
Blessings and thank you!

LOL! That sounds like the plot to an 80s movie - guy tries to dye his hair to look younger, then gets caught out in the rain... 😂

Also, I just realized I forgot to include the 😉 after my second sentence in my original comment. 😜

Thank you for the tipu curate my dear friend (whatever that means)
Coming from you it must be important.It is totally okay with me if you forget to include your magafters after sentences. I am getting used to you talking in pictures which is so nice.
Blessings!

Lovely photos my friend, and you have great imaginations!

Thank you for the kind comment my friend. Glad that you liked it.
Blessings!

Hhhmm, perhaps he purposely altered his fur thinking you might feed him more. ;) They are pretty sneaky. Unless they're crossing the road. 😲 But this is too nice of a post to think about that. I really do need one of those cloud gazing days. Haven't done that in quite a while now.

Hahaha, a great comment and I see that he was in there again this morning, but thankfully not too black like the other day. The rain must have cleared some of the old dirt in the grass heap.
Clouds fascinate me and most of my daily shots are of clouds. And the moon of course.
It's gotten so bad that just by looking at the moon I can tell you the number of days when it will be a full moon. Lol
Blessings and thank you!

Cool squirrel!) I myself would not have guessed about the color change))

Oh yes, it was a great relief to find out what caused the color change.
Glad that you liked it my friend.
Blessings!

That is freaky to have a chameleon squirrel! Glad you were able to solve this mystery and shared with us!
Love the sunset on the mountain - how fortunate to be able to witness such beauty!
How unfortunate that there is those that are quick to make promises to help your cause yet when it comes down to actually contributing they are quick to back away. I'm sure it must be frustrating and very difficult to plan if you can not count on people! Keep up the good work - I know you are doing your utmost for your cause!

He was in there again this morning my friend. Thankfully the rain cleared most of the black soot out of the grass, so he was not as black.
We are so blessed to be close to the mountains, as they are my first love.
Regarding the empty lips people, we have learned to overcome the initial disappointment and now just go with the flow.
I don't hold it against them as it is just a wasted attempt at self importance.
Blessings!

Squirry is so smart to stay out of goosey’s way! I love your story telling posts! The human dragonfly added a very nice dramatic effect. 😁

Thank you for the kind comment my friend.
Squirry is just as quick with the roaming cats.
You read my mind about the human dragonfly as it added a bit of drama.
Blessings!

Very nice pics! I wonder why you don't use any photography tag

Two years I have used the photography tag my friend.
Two years with never one response, so I decided to change it to tags where I get a regular daily response.
Only lately after the hardfork have responses come in, first by another guy and now from you!
We need to know if it's worth our while to use the tag.
Blessings and thank you for the interest!

Hello, how many things?
That squirrel is not afraid of anything, I love how he eats calmly.
The full moon over that blue sky dancing with the clouds is beautiful.
But the mountains with the fog outperform everyone, it makes you dream
Happy day friend

So glad that I could make you dream with the mountain shot my friend.
If I remember correctly, you were also with us on tsu?
Maybe I am mistaken, but for some reason your tag name @txatxy rings a bell in my head.
Blessings and thank you!

haha if tsu joined us and left us planted that if we were a small tribe and my name is not common haha so no wonder you remember
grace to remember you

Grace to all of us my dear friend.
It's certainly been a long road.
Blessings!

Mr Squirry has many faces and hides, maybe he is a spy. Squirry Bond,lol!

Hahaha, maybe so Sir George, I will have to put the FBI on him.
Squirry Bond is a great name Lol
Blessings!

What a sneaky little squirrel! I think he was just looking for some additional food. ;)

Your second to last photo with the pigeons in silhouette is pretty awesome!

Hahaha, he is a regular visitor and I have added some videos of him in our latest post my friend. Nothing sneaky about this brave little one, but you are right, as all that he wants is FOOD!
Great that you liked the silhouette.
Blessings and thank you!

Howdy sir papilloncharity! What great photos again and that last one is spectacular!

Howdy Sir @janton, thank you for the kind comment.
Blessings!
