It was a cold and windy day when I noticed this squirrel hunkered down in a tree near my deck. It was there for at least 15 minutes with the wind blowing at its back. I think it was trying to use its tail as a blanket but I'm not sure how successful that was. Eventually the cold creature moved off to a more protected location.

Your story paints such a vivid picture of that little squirrel braving the elements! Nature never ceases to amaze with how creatures adapt to their environments, even in the harshest conditions. Watching the squirrel use its tail as a makeshift blanket shows just how resourceful wildlife can be. I'm glad it found a more sheltered spot eventually.
Lovely squirrel:-)) Is there snow there?
ReplyDeleteCute squirrel, I hope it is OK with the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
That's kind of how I feel this morning. I just walked out on the balcony and was there less than a minute. Brrrr. It will warm up later today.
ReplyDeleteNot seen the squirrels at my place lately, we got some snow today so they need to stay warm best they can.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great heart for the animals Aloha!
ReplyDeleteA warm drink will do him fine and take some of the chill away.
ReplyDeleteAs will a belly full of nuts, Bill. :-)
