Up


Debbie’s one-word prompt for this week is ‘Up’. I originally had the intention of using the original of the photo I posted on January 1st this year, but it seems a little too soon, and then I remembered that I had taken these photos toward the end of November. The reason why I was looking up was because of this blurred little chap, jumping from treetop to treetop as though he didn’t have a care in the world. He’s a squirrel, by the way, but he was far too busy to pose for a photo, so I just had to grab any shot of him I could with my mobile phone. If you tilt your head to one side, and then adjust your focus you may just be able to make him out!

    A great up – thanks Tom
    In fact is a good match for a shadow I posted last night – I think the trees may be related 🙂

    Good picture Tom! 🙂

    We have squirrels here too, but also a lot of cats, so they don’t last long… 😦

    God Bless!

      I don’t see that many squirrels around here, strangely enough, Prenin… maybe there are cats here too that keep them away?

      Ah. Erm… hehehe! He wasn’t in the first one, Becky. Would you believe me if I said he was behind the tree there… he may have been… 😉
