The Squirrel

I actually found my "dive bombing squirrel". I was out in my hammock, just trying to get nowhere when I saw him. He was chomping away at yet another pine cone. It is weird to see him up there, and yet satisfying too. There are now a couple of dozen pine cones, all shredded to the core, at the base of the tree.



The squirrel was all the was at the top of the tree, some 50 feet in the air.



I almost felt like it was wild kingdom or something. Normally, I sit or lay in the hammock and concentrate on the clouds or the birds or the locust buzzing away. But I caught a glimmer of something in the tree, and as I focused on it I could see him just relaxing on a branch, yeah I think WC is right... they are sneaky lil' um things...
