Today I really enjoyed pausing and taking time to enjoy the new flowers and buds growing along my stroll to and from the pool.
Recently I discovered that squirrels enjoy grapes now and then so I was approached by one and then another. I think these are young squirrels, born this spring ... smaller than a full adult.
They also seem more timid and new to their environment.
I complied with their requests and they scurried up the tree to enjoy the grapes on different branches.
Then a third squirrel came over. He was less afraid. He got closer. He lifted himself straight up into a sitting position and waited patiently.
I threw a grape to him and HE CAUGHT IT ! right in his paws.
As I said he was less timid than the other two and instead of running directly up the tree he stayed at the trunk and ate it.
So now there were three squirrels, all facing the same way, at three different altitudes, enjoying their newly acquired food.
I was listening to a Gavin Bryars CD called "After the Requiem".
They rhythm of their concentrated munching went really well with the music.
YEAH ! :)
