Fox Squirrels in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan during my "Squirrel Run" - 106/2020 309/P365Year12 4326/P365all-time (April 15, 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 fifth time 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 (over 800) 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 Lefty (my favorite three pawed squirrel). While I saw a number of squirrels on this weird snowy Spring day - the best viewing was the group of juveniles who are living in Hatcher Library in the brickwork. I am going to call them the Hatchlings and there are four of them! I even got pictures of all of them looking at me - so it will be their album cover! 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.
