Daily Photo: My Nemesis

For several months, I've been trying to figure out what animal has been so aggressively digging in my garden.  It mucked about so badly in one flower bed that it buried all of my pansies:

It digs around beneath every tree:

It even digs random holes in my lawn:

I first glimpsed the critter about a week ago when it returned to the scene of the pansy crime.  In the following days, it became bolder and bolder, often climbing a pillar outside my window to stare at me.  Today it brought two friends and actually posed for me on the pillar.  I'm not sure, but I think it also laughed at me.  Don't be fooled by how cute it is.  This is the squirrel from hell.
