Smooth as silk.
Smooth as a quiet lake on a sunny day.
Smooth as a baby’s cheek.
Smooth …
Silky squirrel

Twilight at the pond
A little bit of silk …
Shining sand, smooth as silk
Smooth as a bird’s feathers in sunlight …
Smooth water with barely a ripple

I’m not sure if the squirrel is actually silky or not. I have yet to pet one…

I actually did — LONG, LONG time ago — like 40 years+. Owen was maybe 7 or 8 and his friend Moses lived down the block. One day (I swear this is true!) a baby squirrel just climbed up Moses’ leg and settled down in his arms. Wherever Moses went after that, his squirrel went with him. So I did get to pet the baby squirrel and he felt like a bundle of fluffy silk. What a cutie! They feel just like you think they will feel. There isn’t much squirrel under the fur, but it’s very silky.

Lovely photos–and that squirrel is a smooth operator!

That squirrel is a survivor! Something (I’m betting a hawk) grabbed him and broke free, but you can see the scars on the back of his neck. I mean, it could have also been a coyote or a fox, but that’s where hawks grab prey. He seems fine — the scar is scabbed over and he doesn’t seem infected, so I’m assuming he is okay. But he is a SURVIVOR.

We have some in our yard that have that kind of scar, and some blind in the left eye–more than one squirrel, whom I see at the same time, blind in their left eyes. Hmm. They are clever and tough.

They are prey. It’s also why I feed them, too. Everything needs a meal.

For me, it was the shine of the sunrise on the sand. It was amazing to see.

You’re on the other coast. We don’t see sunrises like that here. Beautiful no matter which time of day.

We get sunrises because it’s the east coast. I suppose you get the sunsets. We get sunsets, but the land tends to block the view.

That’s seems to be how it works. I get hill and foggy sunrises.

I remember getting really crabby but always getting sunrises and inevitably missing sunsets — until I realized we live on the east coast. So unless we were up on a hill or on a lagoon facing west, sunsets are very rare, but sunrises relatively common.
