Hoarding for Winter on one of the hottest days of the year, this squirrel is perfectly oblivious to the shoeless sleeper in Battery Park. Weegee, who took this PM photo, said the leaves were falling all over the man, but he slept right on through the chatter of squirrels, the photographer’s flash and the heat.

Hoarding for winter on one of the unseasonably warmest days of the year, this squirrel is perfectly oblivious to the fenced in, treeless tree in Battery Park. Ceegee, who took the WD photo, said the leaves were falling all over the tree, but it stood right on through the chatter of squirrels, the photographer’s flash and the unseasonable warmth.
