Description

I moved from Washington State to New York about 18 months ago. I love watching the squirrels and the only squirrels to my knowledge in Washington are gray...So it was quite a treat to see this little guy who visits me only once or twice a week. His fur is much fuzzier than the gray squirrels and I am told by the locals that the black squirrels are female, but I do not know that for sure. Anyway I took this for those who have never seen a black one. And I had to shoot thru about a 4" opening in a window to get him, thats why he isn't centered. Squirrel scurries around gathering nuts and seeds for the long winter ahead. He builds his nest far in advance of the cold and teaches us to prepare for events ahead of time so we can avoid last minutes stress. He also reminds us to gather what will sustain us in life and to ignore the rest. He might even symbolize that you must sort through your belongings and your beliefs. This often precedes a move or change in your life. I am still learning to use this camera so your comments are of great use to me. Thanks for looking and for previous comments!
