I had two lovely encounters this morning when I went out early to greet the new day, and the sun. First was a bit of mist from the coolness. Then I felt a ruckus among the tree branches in my neighbour's yard across the street, and when I looked closely it was two squirrels scampering about and having great fun. I smiled. I like to watch squirrels run and play or fall in love, whatever they were doing to me was perfect. I felt that somehow they added a nice energy to my day.
But these two pictures below I didn't take at the time.
It was a few hours later, when I heard very close, at the side of my house, the characteristic sound that a squirrel makes... have you heard it? Bobap, bobap, bobap and with its tail bristling like shaking... 🤷🏻 or I don't know... maybe you would describe it in a different way, so this is just my way of telling you that little Bobap 😁 came to visit me.
I think she really enjoyed playing hide and seek with me, while I called her by that weird name I just made up, so that she would show herself and I could take a few pictures of her. She is curious, that's for sure. Maybe she was a little wary at first, but then she realised that she, just she, had my undivided attention and she seems to like that. Although there was a hummingbird hovering nearby too.
With those two pictures I showed you at the beginning of the post I finished the session because she was next to my house, and I guess she got bored about the thingy of you see me and you don't see me... 🤣 Then she decided to cross the street and run over the gate of my neighbour, to find another entertainment.
My little dog Chanel with her whining and looking over there was the one who alerted me that Bobap was leaving.
And so it was that I was able to take those photos that I liked a lot and I now gift them to you. 😉
