Squirrels in the Peanut Basket

DVD available. Buy this with 2 other Ambient Squirrel videos, looped, for your TV set. On DVD. See below for info.

If you like squirrels doing what comes naturally, you'll like this video. No funny tricks or antics, no dramatic editing, just squirrels helping themselves to peanuts in a basket...shot from above.

I made this video to play on our large 42" TV so Mom could have a cute video to have on TV while she reads. For the DVD, I have it on endless loop. Here,, I added just a bit of music from "Discovery," from Paul Rosas's touching album, "Journey of the Heart" (available on Amazon).

Contact me if you'd like to buy a copy of this program looped on DVD. Two other ambient squirrel videos are also on the DVD, "Squirrel Morning" and "Squirrels. Peanuts. Birds, both shot at the base of our redwood tree. Both videos are shot with tripod, with most of the no-squirrel parts edited out. Cost for the DVD with 3 programs is $10 postage paid, USA. Please contact me via my channel contact.

The movie is not technically high def, but with an upconverting DVD player it looks very pretty and sharp on our 42" set, 16:9. On the other hand, it looks soft on my 24" computer monitor, for the DVD player program does not have an "unconverting" feature.

What Mom and I found enticing about both these videos is that our senses are heightened watching for the next clue of critter arrival. Since you can't see the entire yard, you don't know when the squirrel will arrive...or who is making all the noise right off camera. Of course, it can serve also as a just an ambient moving picture.

It was kinda odd to see the ad to this video after watching BreakingNYC but I kinda like it. It's peaceful.

This is one of four ambient videos I have running on the TV for hours at a time. Two other squirrel ones (more scenic against our redwood tree), and then the sunflower video with Deuter's music on it. That is on my channel as well. These videos have stood the test of time and "sick room." Might market them to nursing homes.

Hi liked your video a lot. I hope your peanuts are un-salted and roasted, salt is terrible for them. I feed one at the park unsalted organic hazelnuts and walnuts since some sites say that peanuts can be bad for their digestive systems. Thanks for being so kind to the squirrels!

Several months ago I made a special bar that fits over the back kitchen door, and added a fold out table and figured out how to brace it. Then I stenciled figures of flowers and insects on it, with a big black sqiurrel stenciled right in the middle of the table. Mom sits here for an hour at a time calling "Come on honeys, little penis! Get your penis!" (MOM!! She has Alzheimer's). We also feed dove seed, and birdseed, so it's quite the production.

We tried to go there yesterday, but too crowded, no parking. We went south to one of those where you can park and be very near the surf. Mom's favorite view was of a fluffy dog we met in the parking lot. Dorothy is still alive, but moved to Oregon to be near her sons.

Your video skills just keep getting better and better...

These squirrels were a special treat!

Thanks. Does HMB mean Half Moon Bay? Mom and I were just out there yesterday. This video wasn't hard to do, videowise. Set up camera, let it roll. I have some other squirrel videos. The recent sunflower one is along the same lines. People don't have the courage just to let the camera run and leave well enough alone, though choosing the right scene takes some thought. For complex video, see the latest where I filmed Mom and niece Wendy singing One Love, woven in on the Playing for Change video.

@MissMontana21

Yeah, who DOESN'T like squirrels?

Oh right, pecan tree owners. lol

[lostindiancamp]

I would dearly love to put out food for our squirrels, but fire ants get into the peanuts, deer corn or other stuff that we put out.

I hate fire ants.
