Description
Photograph of a regular visitor to my back yard, Tipsy the squirrel, enjoying a big red cocktail at happy hour. Like the lady she is, Tipsy delicately sips her liquor through an umbrella straw while waiting for her partner in crime to join her. Tipsy is a red squirrel (also known as a Douglas squirrel), and this kind of squirrel is native to the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia where this photograph was taken. In fact, there are no other kinds of squirrels on the coast and they plan on keeping it that way since grey squirrels and black squirrels are larger and tend to overtake then obliterate the native population.
Here's a tip: Don't ever let a squirrel get drunk. Chaos ensues.
This image is just one of a series of photographs I took of Tipsy and other squirrels enjoying my back deck (not to mention beverages) over the years. These photos can be found in my Squirrels and Chipmunks collection.
