Garden Squirrel 4.10.14

My first successful shot of a squirrel. Have been trying to get shots of these little critters for a couple of years now, but they never would let me. Today, I reached a turning point. This one actually posed for me! I found it very exciting. Squirrels are tremendous power animals and spiritual guides in Shamanism. When you feel like you have reached a "dead end" in your life, or ready to give up on something, they remind us that perseverance and adaptability are the keys to success. If one approach doesn't work, try another. But there's no such thing as "can't" for a squirrel. Squirrels can solve puzzles, they're resourceful, they can change direction at the turn of a hat, store for the future and plan ahead, know how to balance the art of giving AND receiving, and the importance of being prepared. Perhaps these little animals have something to teach me. Isn't he just precious? © Maria Dorothea Campbell 2014
