Squirrel on the Move

 Opening my door,

I discovered this little guy

sitting so still. I was surprised

that he didn't jump down immediately

and head for the oak tree 

just behind him.

 but, no, here he stays... 

long enough for me to snap several shots.

 Now he's on the move...

moving closer to the 

stair railing. 

"I'm out of here!"

From here he leaped down on the snow

and disappeared into the

heretofore unseen snow tunnel!
