Squirrel clings… with an expectant look!
Vlad and I have always been fascinated by squirrels: The acrobatic way they catapault through the leaves. How quickly they can scamper up trees. The brazen way they beg for food (at least in Central Park). And most of all, the way they’re able to cling like Velcro to the trees….
In response to the daily prompt, “Cling”.
... kayaked the waters around New York for more than 15 years in his red Feathercraft folding kayak. He was originally from (the former) Czechoslovakia and lived in the U.K. and California before settling down in New York. He was a neuroscientist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He died in 2016.

OMG that was ADORABLE. Just liked, couldn’t figure out how to comment. But I think it’s great that we both picked up on the way squirrels can cling…

Nice pic of the squirrel, Johna. It reminds me of my teenage years when a squirrel used to be a regular visitor at my home. I used to feed it and it used to be around during our meal timings to partake of whatever food particles that were thrown to it. The visitation continued for several weeks till one day it stopped coming. The suspected culprit was a stray cat that would have probably preyed on the cute little creature. Some of life’s delights are just that, warming the cockles of your heart for a while and suddenly vanishing…

You are most welcome. Lots more to come. Mine are not so lovely, as you’ll see, though I’m making progress…. but that squirrel is special.
