They Call Me "Mr. No Fear"

Didn't go much more than 5 feet up the tree and then turned to study me. He was as curious as I was.

It's been nearly 3 weeks and today was a strange one - couldn't stop working - had to stay busy. I apologize for not doing well with commenting - but I have been looking and enjoying each night. Some days I just can't get my thoughts to paper. Hopefully this will get better.

Great pose and expression.

Give yourself time to grieve Milanie, it is still very soon. Do what you can when you are up to it, remember to take care of yourself. Thinking of you during these difficult times.

Sweet squirrel. You can only get through one day at a time, some days will be easier than others. That's okay, you've got plenty of time to get things done, take care of yourself, dear.

[Karly]

I'm so glad you have your photography to help you along your journey. Truly one day (and night) at a time. I think we all understand. Your squirrel friend is adorable and I love the catchlight!

[Greg Kowalski]

I think this is a great closeup shot and love the composition. So sorry to hear about the passing of you husband. I will say a prayer for you.

Oh Milanie, I didn't know. I am so sorry for your loss and wish I knew the right thing to say. Hugs

[Jane Pittenger]

I'm amazed that you are even posting. I'm not sure I could pull that off. May your squirrels, flowers, and birds support you during this hard time

Great shot on this fellow. Just keep doing what your doing as you can. It just takes time and the more you can stay busy, the better off you'll be.

I had gotten a bit off track with your photos and was jumping around to ones I hadn't seen and stumbled upon this. I am so sorry to hear about your loss- it must be so hard. You are not alone- there are several people I follow who have lost a special person (one her husband) in the past year or two. Mourning is most definitely a process so give yourself plenty of time and grace to walk through it. Although I know it's different when your parent dies, there are still times that I go through when I can't put two and two together. Then I realize I'm missing one or both of my parents and I just let it be what it is. You will be in my prayers and I pray there will be loved ones and friends with you to help ease the sorrow.
