If you can sit outside on a sunny day.

A nature story.

Or, two photo essays depicting a wonderful day for two Richmond Hill squirrels.

Here, a black squirrel makes a delicious discovery.

Something prompts the black squirrel to look up from his delicious almond.

"Oh my!" says he, as his ears perk up.

"Is the coast clear?"

black squirrel says

Indeed, the coast is clear! "I can't wait! What luck!"

black squirrel looks crafty

"You realize that this is mine? All mine."

He sidles carefully over to the unexpected feast, afraid it will vanish as quickly as it appeared.

Sounds of nomming.

Defeated by its size, the black squirrel attempts to drag it away...

But woe for the black squirrel, no longer alone!

Munchy munch. "These seeds are boring," thinks the gray squirrel.

A brief note to the weather gods:

Fall is the season for French onion soup and apple pie, fiery leaves, strong winds, and crisp, cool weather.

It is therefore unacceptable that the first full day of fall is a muggy 27 degrees Celsius (34! with the humidex!).

I trust that you’ll do better next year.

Sincerely,

Tariqata

School had me hopping for a month or so with writing that at least one person will actually be reading – and one person with the power to give me a grade.
