These two young squirrels were eye level from where I was standing. They did not notice me (or at least the pretended they didn’t). Perhaps siblings, they were grooming each other, companions totally at ease.

A secret window through the green…
Walking along the familiar wooded corridor of the Little Miami Bike Trail, I paused for a second to look through the heaviest of green, listening. It’s always when I slow down that I see the most amazing little things. Secret things. Actions not made for us, but that we are compelled to watch and admire…and marvel at. Quietly.

ReplyDeleteHow special to be able to glimpse that sweet moment Kelly!
ReplyDeleteSuch fun to see them in their world so totally at ease.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun they have!! This is just very funny and stunning. Yeh it is all the time when you expect least that we get something very cute and nice!! Well done!
Sweet photos. I think we as humans, don't know even the half of it! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling to catch that tender moment. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteAmazing behavioural images Kelly, so unusual and not something you would normally associate with Squirrels.
ReplyDeleteYou know you are privileged to witness such enchanting interactions with nature don't you? And talented for capturing them on camera and sharing with all of us!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments on my new blog. I enjoy visiting your site as I am a nature lover (even though I'm also a "City girl") My Cat and Dog "essence" portraits coming soon.
I love those small hawks Perig??? do you have any photos of them?
Warm wishes
Faern
They look so cute grooming themselves and each other! Sweet photos!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteToo cute Kelly :) Love the show of companionship with these two squirrels. :)
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if people got along that well!
ReplyDeleteThis is a truely unique squirrel post. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture of that tender moment Kelly. It always pays to stop and just watch like that.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I never see my Fox squirrels act friendly with each other even though I know they must all be related. Maybe greys are less territorial.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the squirrels Kelly!! You got to see what I see every day with over twenty of them around here. The babies are real cute right now. I am just seeing the young Chipmunks too. I'm glad you got to see them in their natural habitats and doing what they always do. Have a great weekend!
