Look how carefully this one approached the feeding spot in our garden.
Squirrels protect themselves with their tails, and this one thought that there might be another squirrel in the garden.
No storyline here, as I just want to show you some cute squirrel shots. Territory is everything, and squirrels, like other animals and birds, protect their space and food. Their babies and nests are also in the area of their territory, so it is vital that they are in control of what and who enters it. They are also very competitive, as on occasion they steal each other's food.
One would sit in a tree and watch where another one buries a nut, and as soon as the other one is gone the one in the tree runs over to steal the nut. At times, they also forget where they buried the nuts, and quite often trees start growing all over the place. But they are very agile little beings, and we love to watch them when they are playing games. It is amazing to see how squirrels can move at speed through the trees.
Tell me if you can see the second squirrel at the left of the picture.
Safe is better than sorry, as the one at the right decided to disappear.
Another of the siblings.
And here is yet another one, up high with a nut.
This little one balanced its nut with its paws on the wall.
Just look at that little mouth.
Just as in our lives everything cannot only turn up rosy, as at times there are many thorns. This little gecko got trapped in the frame of our backdoor, and it flattened the life out of it.
We want to wish everyone a happy Friday and a great weekend. Time certainly speeds along nowadays, as just the other day we were still in February. Now March will speed along and soon the Easter season will be upon us in April. Unbelievable, isn't it?
Just the other day I was 21 years old and now I am almost 71. So where have the 50 years gone? Life is like that for us, and we just have to accept it. My one major dream is to complete the correspondence and communications of the new Papillon project that will cover the malnourished little children, which has now been dragging for months due to all of the red tape. Hopefully it will be done soon, and then we can go ahead to deliver the food to the children.
Such is life.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
