How To Pronounce "Squirrel".

I've just come back from my teacher's blog, "mountain breeze", which is about his new life in montain lands.
I came across nice photos of amazing creatures living there.
My favorite one is squirrel called "Risu" in Japanese.

It reminded me of my trip to a small zoo.
Let me show you some photos that I took in 2004.

At that time, "squirrel" was my brand-new vocabulary(!) and I couldn't pronounce it well.
I practiced "squirrel" again and again and again and again......, then I mastered it.
How adorable they are, aren't they?

Mr. Bushy-tail, say cheese!


He was hiding his food, but just after that another one came and digged it out.

  • I love your pictures of squirrels. To put it bluntly, they look cuter than your English teacher’s one!! I also had (and still have) difficulty pronouncing “squirrel”!
    Kaori

  • Hahahaha Squirrel is always difficult, like the correct way to say "chocolate" (choclet xD)

  • Kaori!
    Thanks for coming.
    I took these photos in Inokashira Zoo in Kichijoji.

    They are so adorable that I want to eat(!).

    Okay, let's go to "Tateshina Breeze" to say hi to wild squirrels!

  • Hey Peach, you are very kind to mention my modest blog. I'm glad you liked my squirrel - I love your Mr Bushy Squirrel.

    I remember you telling me how you enjoy/ed [which one do you think?] taking photographs, it's great that you can share them on your blog. Maybe one day you can take some photos in Tateshina...

  • Birthday Alex!
    I'm still enjoying taking photos, so "how I enjoy" is my feeling..I think.

    My main digital camera is now out of order, so recently I take photos with my mobile phone camera.

    Thank Mobile Phone!

  • Hi Asami,
    Thanks for stopping by my journal and discovering my squirrels:D

    Surprisingly, they didn't notice at all that their food had gone.

    They looked like they were playing American football games.
