Fox Squirrels in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan during my "Squirrel Run" - 101/2020 304/P365Year12 4321/P365all-time (April 10, 2020)
With COVID-19 essentially shutting down campuses all across America and the world, there are few normal days to be had. Like most of my colleagues at the University of Michigan, I have been working from home. There is also a "stay at home" order in the state that really strongly encourages people to stay in (to flatten the curve). In the Governor's order, we do have the freedom to participate in outdoor activities - as long as we keep a social distance of 6 feet. I keep at least enough room for the Holy Spirit to drive a car between me and anyone I am with. So today, I went to campus to see and feed my squirrel friends. This is the fourth time (and the 2nd time this week) I have made the "Squirrel Run" - I have missed them a great deal. So off to campus I went. I did not get within six feet of anyone NOT a squirrel. In regards to the squirrels it was a banner day and I took a lot of pictures during my short time on campus! Besides seeing all the squirrels and feeding them (with a big old bag of peanuts), it was quite exciting. I did see the squirrels in the scilla field near Martha Cook - though that seems to be past its prime (in regards to the flowers). I did not see the juveniles who are living in Hatcher Library in the brickwork or the ones by Mason Hall. However, I did see a mom with two juveniles on the South University side of the Law Quad. They were adorable. I also saw a momma over at Ross near the Bur Oak that did not move. I am sure she has babies around. Hope to see them soon. I saw one squirrel at Law who had mange - and I hooked him up. But I did not see Waddles. Hopefully next time. Be safe everyone - we will get through this. Sending love and virtual hugs from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Pictures from the University of Michigan on Friday April 10th, 2020.
