Have you ever seen a white squirrel?
The gardener at Imibala took the 4 photos below through a window with his mobile phone, and the CEO sent them to us.
An Albino Squirrel! Now I have the gardener on high alert to call me if he sees it again, and I only hope that it will return.
So, we did a bit of research on the albino squirrel, and my wife found this.
According to the website, the odds of seeing an albino squirrel (with the red eyes as pictured), like I did, are 100 000 to one. Ironically enough, a white or albino squirrel has no real benefit from its unique coat. In nature, their bright white colour actually makes them easier to hunt by predators like hawks. Whereas conventionally coloured squirrels have an element of camouflage to their brown coats.
No, I have never seen one and I knew going to search for it would be futile. They reckon that if you see one, then luck is coming your way, and I don't know if the gardener plays the local Lotto, as he might turn up to win and become a millionaire :))
Only joking, as I don't believe in luck, but who knows, I might be surprised.
A real beauty isn't it?

And finally, I leave you with a rainbow effect created by this water sprayer.
The Imibala Trust is a local non-profit that Papillon partners with in some upliftment projects, and they do wonderful work with the children. Some of my friends on hive have visited the Imibala centers, and they can attest to the great work of the organization. Now if luck does indeed exist, then I wish that the luck brought along with the sighting of the albino squirrel was meant for everyone at Imibala.
May it be like such.
If you want to see more of Imibala's work with the children, then I invite you have a look at their website HERE
A happy Monday to all and we hope that your new week will be great.
