This little guy was in trouble this morning!
As usual I am outside early every morning and here in the new place I am still learning the ropes about the things that mother nature wants to show me.
I think this morning was a test!
Let's see if I passed!
The squirrel was fiddling with something on the cobbles and I saw the something move!
Oh! It was a little bug lying upside down!
What a surprise when I picked him up! A Carpenter Bee!
So I put him down below the palm tree up front!
Soon he started to climb up the tree and after a while he flew off!
Not to be confused with a normal honey bee.
Squirrels don't normally eat live insects and I think the squirrel was just interested to see what the struggling thing lying on its back was.
As I approached the squirrel darted away and I was glad to get to the carpenter bee before a car drove over him.
So, I think that I passed mother nature's test.
Hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting a post by @papilloncharity
