Turkeys in Pleasanton, CA

Continuing from my last post, after walking home from Downtown Pleasanton, I spotted a group of turkeys near where I live. I started shooting photos of them. If you follow me here on my blog, you'd know there are a lot of walnut trees around where I live. I always see squirrels eating them, and I have also posted photos of squirrels eating them. Anyways, this was the first time I saw turkeys eating them! Not sure how they peck the walnuts open though! I tried to open the walnuts with my hand before, and I just can't. The shell is way too hard. Anyways, I took one home with me that day and opened one with a hammer. It tasted very good. :P Let's get started with the photos.

Squirrels and Flowers of Arroyo Del Valle Trail

As you all probably know now, Pleasanton Trail (Arroyo Del Valle Trail) is close to my house and I take walks there daily. Which also means I have a lot of photos from there. Today's post will focus on flowers and squirrels. Pleasanton Trail is in Pleasanton, California.

Squirrels on Arroyo Del Valle Trail (Part 2)

If you read my blog a lot you probably notice I post a lot of Arroyo Del Valle Trail photos. This is because the Arroyo Del Valle Trail is very close to my house and I take walks over there everyday. There are lot's of squirrels on the trail probably due to all the blackberry bushes and the walnut trees there. When you walk on the trail, generally you will see a bunch of them eating walnuts. I took a total of 13 photos of them and will split them into 2 blog posts. The Arroyo Del Valle Trail as the name says is located in Pleasanton, California.

If you missed my blog post last time on the Red-tailed hawk I saw on Pleasanton Trail, you can see it here.

I'm sorry I am so late in doing a new post. For yesterday and today, I had some issues and trying to complain to Customer Support and stuff. You know how those things go down, I'm sorry, I'll have to transfer you to another agent, and you have to explain your problem again. Then you get a stupid headache and forget about your blog. HAHA I had two problems total, one is solved, the other one not yet... Anyways, here are the rest of the squirrel photos I took on the Pleasanton Trail. :)

What a fat squirrel? Cute. HAHA

I wonder how squirrels get fat off of walnuts. Hm...

Cute squirrel. :P I only got one photo of it before it ran off.

So many walnut trees... 

Another photo.

I wish my camera would stop picking such high ISO speeds... But again, adjusting the ISO manually is kind of a pain? LOL Maybe I just didn't master the camera controls yet.

Another squirrel picture.

That is all the squirrel photos I took this time. I might take more next time. The next blog post will probably be on birds. :) Hope you have enjoyed today's post. Again, I'm sorry for posting so late. Please share the blog post with your friends!

So today, I will post a total of 6 photos of squirrels I saw there. Also, none of the photos were touched up. They are the original photo. I cropped them down a bit for some of them though.

I think this is the best squirrel photo I have ever taken. Isn't it cute. ^_^

Okay, I'm going to say this and if you know the answer, please tell me. So at first I thought the squirrel was probably taking a midday nap, but its eyes were open. So I went up to like 8 feet in front of it and waved. It did nothing. Then I moved in closer to about 5 feet, it just lifted its head up just a little, then put it down again and looked it it went back to sleep? But it had its eyes open still... This also happened with another squirrel. Usually the squirrels on the trail runs when you get closer than 8 feet. Well if you can guess the reason, tell me in the comments below. Also nice photo right? LOL

It's all like where you come from? HAHA

Look at it scratching itself... I was surprised I actually got a shot of it doing that.

 This photo makes the squirrel look like an acrobat.

 Squirrel standing on walnut tree eating a walnut. Lot's of walnut trees...

So yeah, like I said above. Tomorrow's post will also be squirrels. So check back. Also, please leave me some comments below if you liked the photos! Make sure you share the blog post with your friends too! Thanks for looking.
