Initially this eastern fox squirrel was enjoying something in the road... perhaps roadkill? When I approached to closely he/ she ran to this wood fence and ran across the boards. Luckily I was able to snap a few shots before a car coming interrupted our photo shoot. Happy Crittering~

Walking across the road I realize I'm exposing myself. There's a red tailed hawk sitting in a tree where earlier there'd been two eastern fox squirrels. For the third time that day I weathered the cold biting my face and hands. I've almost reached the fence that separates us but, not quite. I can see through my viewfinder he's watching me over his left shoulder. I inch my way closer. It's after taking this photo I find my battery has died and this perfect specimen has flown across the field.

A Winter's Story

Cold winter wind scuds across my face as I tread along a half frozen yard in my pajamas. Across the road I have spied an eastern fox squirrel in a tree. Two horses are foraging in the field below. The small pond has a thin layer of ice over its surface.  I'm inching my way closer to the fence which divides us, there. I stand before the fence longing to climb over but I know I'll scare the squirrel from its perch. The horses continue to shuffle along as I raise my camera to photograph a winter's story.

Squirrelin' Around

Earlier this morning I looked out my kitchen window and saw two squirrels squirrelin' around. They were climbing in and out of the nest pictured above and chasing each other along the slender tree branches. I stood quietly in snow drifts, halfway up my calf, watching them romp in their playground while listening to a red bellied woodpecker sounding in the distance.

I've reached a milestone today with my 100th post at Naquillity. Thank you to all my readers for making my blog one of your regular stops. Sending BIG hugs your way.
