What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

I can’t sleep…must be those visions of capes and light sabers still haunting my mind. So I thought I’d go ahead and post the Nutkin update I was saving for the weekend, which likely means I will come up one post short this weekend. But I don’t feel guilty since I’ve been blogging all week. My vacation’s nearing an end and I will reassume my identity as the weekend blogger.

As for our friend, Nutkin, I thought all the Nutkin fans would like to take a gander at the new girlfriend. He’s already trying to teach her bad habits by bringing her into the yard where the feeder tower is. But she IS a hottie, as lady squirrels go, don’t you think?



The lighting really sucked for these shots but they were so perfect, I just HAD to shoot. In this one, it looks like the little sneak is trying to disguise himself as the pole…



He still hasn’t figured out how to beat the baffle, though he’s tried numerous times this week alone. There is such a flurry of activity with the birds at the feeder (parents are bringing their new fledgelings!), it’s driving him plumb batty, but you can tell by his parting expression that his busy little brain has not ceased contemplating a solution to his dilemma. Still working on it for sure, is he, as master Yoda would say. The Jedi Knight stands ready with light saber poised for action...
