Brevard County, N. Carolina, Brevard College. I have heard of this species of squirrels for a number of years. I finally had a chance to photograph them on my trip in this area for fall colors. I'm not really sure just what the answer is to the coloration. But as you can see, this is not a true albino because of the dark coloration on top of the head, which also runs down the center of the back.

The light was well behind the mountains as I motored up to Bridal Vail falls,which was a total dud. But as I passed by this turn in the road and a little bridge over this creek these wonderful colors appeared in the reflections. I slammed on the brakes and backed up to the bridge and managed to get off a couple of shots before this light was gone.

Brevard County, N. Carolina, Brevard College. I had heard of this species of squirrels for a number of years. I finally had a chance to photograph them on my trip in this area for fall colors back in 2007. I'm not really sure just what the answer is to the coloration but as you can see, this is not a true albino because of the dark coloration on top of the head, which also runs down the center of the back, as well as the lack of pink eyes. Here is another image:

And BTW, if you like a bit of humor of the things that have happened to me over the years on some of my photo adventures, try reading some of the stories in my Blog. I've just added the last two adventures that happened many years ago. Just waiting for the next humorous adventure to arrive.
I'm sure there must have been a couple of events that happened out of the ordinarily while on this trip and others. I'll be posting them as I remember them to my Blog.
