Yes, We're Having A Heat Wave

Through a dirty kitchen window with a screen, so not a very clear shot, I saw at 7:30 this morning this little guy already trying to cool off by lying spread eagle in the garden. For the songtitle and six wordstory challenges. Listen to Ella Fitzgerald sing the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0rOMF9y2qI
Great capture and song choice! If he were here, he'd be a flying squirrel with our 60 mph breezes!

Poor little guy, I've never seen one do this. Hope you stay cool! Perfect song.
June 15th, 2022  
I feel for him!

The grass must be cooler - and should be in the shade but you might not have got such a good photo!

Nice shot. We had a squirrel on our patio once doing that and at first we thought it was dead.

Poor little guy. I worry about the animals in this heat (but I worry when it's cold and in hurricanes....)
June 15th, 2022  
Aww, cute little guy! Hope it cools off soon for you all. You are always so good about combining the titles!

Poor little thing, still a lovely shot of him trying to keep cool. A new song for me which I really like.

Well spotted. Someone told me years ago when an animal lies flat on its stomach with legs open stretched behind it’s called “splooting” a sploot” it’s such a great word I’ve never forgotten it.

Well spotted, hope it cools a bit soon!

Great capture. At least they can climb to the shady spots in the trees.

Superbe photo, effectivement avec cette chaleur pas évident, nous avons aussi une vague de chaleur 🥵🥵
June 15th, 2022  
Lol! Poor hot wee thing
June 15th, 2022  
Such a cute little fellow

It looks so funny when they spread out like this but it must work because they do it a lot in my yard!

@wyomingsis LOL thanks. I am tring to figure out which would be worse
@mccarth1 Thank you so much Kerry. I have seen pictures before but this is the first time I have actually seen it too. @milaniet I do too. At least I can retreat to the AC
@maggiemae He would't have shown up as well in the grass for sure
@shutterbug49 thanks Debbie I have seen other's photos with this pose but this is my first time seeing it
@eudora I am the same way. It seems there are very little good weather days for them. I am grateful for no fur coat and the AC!
@madamelucy It will be a while before it cools down again here I am afraid thanks so much for you kind comment Terri
@ludwigsdiana I am so glad you learned a new son Diana
@johnfalconer I had never heard that before John. I hope I can remember it because it sounds like a perfectly descriptive term! Thanks
@jacqbb thanks Jacqueline I hope so too
@wakelys that is so true Sue thank you
@montserrat merci et j'espère que la tienne n'est pas trop grave
@casablanca I think this is a baby too which makes it worse in my mind
@kjarn I thought so too Kathy thanks
@olivetreeann this is a first for me. I have never seen one like this except in photos. John told me this is called splooting so there is a new word for you Ann
June 16th, 2022  
@grammyn Well, I didn't know it actually had a name! Splooting- that's a fun one!
June 16th, 2022  
A wonder he hasn't tried a dip in the pool. This is a wonderful capture of the squirrel.
June 16th, 2022  
@randystreat thanks Kathy. If they go in the pool they never come out! ;>{
