Focus on Life: Bye Bye for Now!

A little friend scurries away. 


Well, we have come to the end of the first year of Focus on Life. This project, sponsored by Sally Russick of The Studio Sublime, has encouraged creative photography and story telling all year long. 

These past few weeks have been challenging because I usually like to capture the natural world around me, and the cold weather and short days limit the pictures I can take. 

Looking around me when the weather allowed, I just didn't think anything presented the opportunity to portray this week's theme, "Saying Goodbye". And them I remembered this little fellow.....


As I scrambled to get my camera turned on and grab a picture of this cute squirrel, he noticed me and my pal, Bebop, and scooted away. 

"Goodbye, friend Squirrel, catch you next time."

Happy New Year everyone.

    I miss squirrels. There aren't any grey squirrels around here - just red ones and golden mantled ground squirrels

    I think that you got it right Beti. The squirrel is saying goodbye with his tail. Looking forward to seeing you next year.
