Sunday Musings #165

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can’t eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.

Peek-A-Boo!

Sparky 1

I see you!

Sparky 2

Sparky the squirrel is getting very cheeky these days, scampering around my stoep, drinking out of the water bowls and having a little snack while hiding in the safety of the pot plants, next to Mr Bunny!

 

Hold the Line!

Swallows 1

Look who’s back, sitting on my telephone wires:

The European Swallow or Barn Swallow.

Swallows 2

I seem to remember they picked a cloudy day last time to perch here; mostly our skies our clear blue at this time of year.

I wonder if they are making a long distance telephone call to reserve their accommodation for their return migration?

Oh yeah. That’s me all right!

The more you weigh, the harder you are to kidnap. Stay safe, eat cake.

Seems a good enough reason to me to have your cake and eat it!

Just saying!

 

Mission Impossible

Sparky the Squirrel 1

Sparky the squirrel, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to check out this fence for spy infiltration, while avoiding detection.

Mission Accepted!

Cue Mission Impossible Music! . . .

Sparky the Squirrel 2

Little Sparky was in stealth mode scampering up and down my side fence, having a grand old time.

With consummate ease he hung suspended upside down, clinging on with his tiny claws.

Sparky the Squirrel 3

Peeping out here and there to check if the coast was clear.

Finally, in ultra stealth mode, he evaded detection completely!

Sparky the Squirrel 4

Mission Accomplished!

.

Actually, I have no idea what Sparky was up to, but his antics provided ample amusement!

 

All photos were taken from inside my lounge through the window.

I am not an early bird or a wise owl. I’m some form of permanently exhausted pigeon.

No deep thinking today. I just thought this was funny.

And I like pigeons!
