Today I bring to you: The Squirrel Chronicles
(possibly to be continued in another journal entry)
Why do they excite me so?
Small creatures with eyes aglow.
Chortling, peaking around the tree-
What is it they have to say to me?
I watch and say to them outloud-
“Come here little fellow and take from me,
my outstretched hand, it’s family.”
A careful gleam and she’s shot away-
Guess I’ll try again-
another day.

Great pics! Great ~words~!
Looking forward to more of the Squirrel Chronicles
Awwwwwwww.. Aren’t they so darn cute? We love them here!
I think I feed all the neighborhood squirrels during the winter with the birds. They like the sunflower seeds.
Wonderful pictures and words.
Excellent. I am getting used to that over here!!
…great snaps! The first is just aglow with colour.

Both pics are great but that first one is so RICH with color. (Ok, this sounds like lkhend’s comment but I had it in my mind before I saw hers…honest!…hehehe…it just took me forever to get to this page…thanks to our slow-as-a-turtle Xanga!
)
oh! you’d love the squirrels here at the university! they are so fat and cute! and they’ll walk right up to you and eat from your hand!!!
Man why can’t I get squirrel pictures? Other than I have to get real close with the digital (regardless of a zoom feature).
I miss the ones that used to eat from my hand.
