Local wildlife

The local wildlife around here is pretty interesting as well. Still can’t get over the fact that they have squirrels here. I was a great fan of the “Secret Squirrel” cartoon as a kid so I am still fascinated to see them in real life. We came across this one in a local community garden. I am sure Steve has probably given it diabetes by feeding it chocolate muffins.
During our wanderings we also discovered this spider in its web next to a local church. I love the design on its back. It looks very similar to the Fleur De Lis (sorry Axel if my spelling is wrong!) 🙂 If anyone knows what type of spider this is I would love to know.
