Peekaboo

I went to my mother’s house today, to meet her and E, collect the mail, and make sure everything is fine. 

After I came home, I saw a strange dark lump in the neighbour’s ornamental cherry tree. As I looked at it through the tele lens, a squirrel peeked back at me between the leaves.  

 But it didn’t seem to move at all.

As I took a few photos, it turned around, but sat there for another hour or so, still hunkered down under its bushy tail. I wondered whether it might be ill or injured, when it finally woke up and disappeared into other trees.

So, all is well with the little guy. 

I found it too hard to choose between the “peekaboo” picture and the clearer one, so I am posting both.
