The Black Squirrel



The wildflowers still look beautiful at this time of year.  We had such a heat wave last week, the squirrels were passed out again.  We saw a black one stretched out almost flat along the top of a fence.  He wasn't moving at all.  But he went away after awhile.

We're back to hot weather, too. I had to turn the air conditioner back on today.

i had to turn the heat on yesterday - we had gotten down into the 30's at night and never did warm up much during the day. Today the sun is out and feels about 60 but haven't 'been out. I have so many photos of squirrels relaxing like they have sunstroke all splayed out on the deck railings. they are so funny at times.

That is a beautiful photo indeed. I love the composition. I'm sorry the black squirrel was too hot, I hope he found a cooler place to spend some time.

That was a very smart squirrel to do as he did to cool off. I don't know what I would do if I had to wear a fur coat everyday of my life...
Love the photo, Christine! Dried plants appeal to me~

Well, no squirrels here in Hawaii. It's been very humid because of the hurricanes headed our way, but we are doing well with a/c.

A squirrel was run over on my walking trail near the house. Poor little guy
