walking downtown
on a trip to the library
who should i meet,
but a giant squirrel.
maybe he’ll be a big star soon
i can honestly say
that i met him before he was big.

If my dog Ollie had seen that ‘man-squirrel’, he would have chased him down the street. 🐿️☺️
Best wishes, Pete.

When I was visiting New York and Central Park (2019), all the squirrels I saw were only small furry critters …

I looked out the window and saw a little owlet sitting on the railing of the back patio. I took a picture through the screen but when I went outside it was gone. I don’t know if that is/was a prime moment or not. But it was very moving.

I’m actually slightly more interested in that Delicatessen! 🙈
When I lived in canada, we visited a German delicatessen when we had a bit of money, to buy a slice of Finnish Emmental cheese and Italian salami – we were so starved for real food then. Actually, the Canadian squirrels were quite big already then – but only few red ones were seen, most of them the grey ones!

What is the story with that squirrel? That’s my question.

I can see he’s plenty bushy-tailed but have no idea whether he was also bright-eyed, as one would expect.
