Hot Wire Squirrel

2014-08-28 173208

(3 MINUTE QUICK SKETCH)..Late summer days, blustery winds and stately Cottonwood trees moving in rhythm  to  the cloudy broken sky showing peeps of azure  blue here and there ..perfect picture of nature except for power line that raced through the tranquility of the scene although,  six lovely Doves were perched comfortably on the intruding power line  which I like to refer to as a hot wire.

Suddenly there was a flurry of wings and the doves scattered in every direction as we caught a movement  scurrying out from the leaves, precariously  balanced  on the Hot Wire…nope not the neighbor’s cat  but a fat furry Squirrel.

We burst into spiels of laughter until our eyes were wet with tears. This Squirrel was a total acrobat..first  he race across the wire, then sat down, then tipped over and not to gracefully uprighted himself and was gone in a flash into the trees again.

My theory on this whole scenario..always look up..keep focused and don’t look down…. and always carry a scrap of paper and pencil..camera is good too..(I never have it on at the right time). Laugh lots it is good for the soul!!
