🎃🐿️ With Halloween less than a month away, I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest that if you have pumpkins, you might want to consider leaving them out afterwards for the local critters #squirrel #pumpkins #sqrlpix #nature #Wisconsin #mammals #Halloween

A photo of a squirrel and a pumpkin surrounded by snow. The pumpkin is sitting at the base of a small birch tree and is broken open. The squirrel is mostly standing on its hind legs with one front paw stretched out and touching the pumpkin.

Half Moon Lake in Eau Claire, WI shortly after moonrise and just before sunset #Wisconsin #lakes #moon #nature

A wide view across a lake. The far side is lined with trees. The tops of the trees are in direct sunlight and the bottoms are in shadows from the trees on the near side because it's almost sunset. The sky is mostly clear, but a few clouds are visible. A waxing gibbous moon is visible above the trees

I wasn't actually planning to take a picture just now, but how could I not? 🐈‍⬛ #cats #caturday

A black cat sitting on a grey loveseat surrounded by throw pillows and looking into the camera. He has a small white patch of fur on his chest and a tuft of white fur inside each ear. He's wearing a light blue collar with a round name tag that's dark blue with a silver fish skeleton. His pupils are very wide but you can see yellow-brown irises. Also it's his birthday today and he's 18 now 🥳🎂🐱🎉

I had never witnessed this before - a fledgling cardinal being fed by a parent under my lilac bushes a few days ago I didn't even know there was a nest nearby. It must be well camouflaged #birds #cardinals #Wisconsin #wildlife #nature

I took a picture of some raindrops. Oh, and also a bird Actually, I had the shutter at 1/3200s to freeze motion when the birds I was watching were flying and realized after I checked the first couple that individual raindrops would also be visible #birds #nature #Wisconsin #raindrops

A small brown bird is perched on a bird feeder. Individual falling raindrops are visible
