One Autumn
day in our own Union Square Park I walked into the park with a cup of coffee
just looking to kill time. Within minutes I had a horde of Squirrels gathering
around me and checking out my cup of java sitting on the ground and practically
begging for something. After searching through my backpack for old shelled
peanuts I'd had, I brought them out and started feeding them.

This is the one and only time
I ever walked away a slight bit nervous. Why? Well, I had literally a dozen
squirrels surrounding me and some actually climbed up my sweater to face
me eye to eye. Too bad I didn't have anyone with me carrying a camera since
they'd've made wonderful photos! But I'll never forget how beautiful these
creatures are up close. They're gorgeous animals with their hazelnut eyes
and furry little bodies. |
