Squirrels

The same yesterday's squirrels are munching nuts again when I login to the hotel windows.


Throughout the morning, in the warmth of the sun, and the soothing breeze, they fill their small stomach with a handful of pine nuts playfully, in an upside-down defying g-force position, 


a normal free-and-easy manner, or in whatever way they like to.


This is their way. 

Service of Superman, not required. A bungalow to boast self-esteem, a Lamborghini to vroom around, or Google to enrich life further have never come into  their mind. 


Living a life the way it is. It is now.

I attended my eldest son's convocation last Tuesday.

These pictures were taken from the hotel window.

Uwielbiam wiewiórki. Trudno ich nie kochać za ich śliczny wygląd i spryt. Pozdrawiam.
I love squirrels. It's hard not to love them for their cute looks and smarts. Yours.

Aren't we jealous of them. They need not to work hard to eat. They just reap without sowing. So blessed.

I'm glad for your comment, so that I know why you traveled! Congratulations to your son and to you (for the support which I am sure he appreciates!).....

And I love that you found nature from your hotel room window...

The squirrel is charming -- and happiness is relative is it not!

Loved each and every photo! Buddy has been on high alert in his chair in the sunny window for squirrels robbing the feeders! They just ignore him...

I think it's amazing the squirrel can eat upside down!

The squirrels know how to live life as they find it, and they make the best of every day. You captured them beautifully in these photos.

What a super star your squirrel is in this post..

(Will you please remove wandering thought and dances of dreams from your blog's list, and put Reach Beyond Limits in their place? Appreciate it very much, with a cherry on top :-) Thank you!
