The sun breaking through the clouds to reflect on itself on a cold winters day in the upper geyser basin of Yellowstone National Park.

Gone Bananas

While I am not a big fan of bananas this Variegated Squirrel sure was.

The Variegated Squirrel is a medium sized tree squirrel found broadly throughout Central America. A diurnal squirrel that rarely ventures onto the ground foraging and nesting in the trees.

It is funny how seeing a species of animal that is so similar yet so different, in this case a squirrel, from those in our day to day lives can elicit a deep internal wow.

For example, when a red squirrel passes us by in the forest nearby we don’t give a second glance, but we stood and watched this guy as long as we could remarking on the colors of their fur and behavior similar yet different from the squirrels in our forests at home.

Happy Friday and wishing you a wonderful weekend and perhaps a little something different?

Round and round

Round and round from one full moon to another.

Time is a peculiar thing.

Up the creek

Up the creek and no paddle needed.

Remnants

Remnants of fall on a winter day bringing feelings of spring. Perhaps it was the color or warm sun above.

Returning.

A quiet morning.

Without fanfare.

Staying close to home.

Winter Warmer

We all have our favorites. A steaming mug of hot chocolate, a nip from the flask and sometimes and ice cold beer sure hits the spot but today’s winter warmer features just a hint of orange from that big old ball of fire in the sky.
