Black Squirrel Photos & Haiku Poem

Happy wild Wednesday! I was on my walk today, wondering what to share for today's post when I spied this pretty black squirrel foraging in a suburban Maryland yard. She even inspired me to write a little poem in her honor when I got home:

 Black Squirrel Haiku Poem:

Skittish black squirrel
entertained me with jumping
running, and hiding

This was the last shot I got before she hid behind the solid fence and scampered off (I could her her rustling the leaves).

 This was one of the first shots I got of her. She definitely noticed me taking my camera out.

And here's an overview of where I first spotted her foraging. It's fun to photograph local wildlife. I have a family member who wishes to remain anonymous but loves black squirrels. This post is in his honor. I love you!

There's a white squirrel in this neighborhood too but it's always been to fast for me to photograph. Perhaps 2016 is the year I'll catch him.

Thank you for visiting! May God bless you in every way!
