Finally managed to get some sleep last night! Was feeling kinda bleh today, but while jogging, I saw this cute little squirrel playing in the trees. ^_^
It was so fun watching it! <3
aww squirrels!! <33
That reminds me of last summer when I would often go to the pond behind my old highschool and play with a family of geese. I started to bring them bread and after a while they became quite fond of me. After some time they would come closer when they saw my bike roll up to the pond, when usually they would panic and flee. They would eat little bread chunks right out of my hand! One of them was even brave enough to steal my glove and tried to swim away with it. Fortunately, he dropped it after swimming about 10 feet away and I was able to wade out to retrieve it.
Geese are huge by the way! The mother and father had bodies the size of my little bichon dogs, and their heads were at least 2.5 feet off the ground. I must admit that I was a little afraid of them at first, thinking they would gnaw the tips of my fingers off, or peck my eyes out, when I tried to feed them. After being nibbled at a few times, I realized they were fairly harmless and we quickly became good friends.
The sad part is that after a couple weeks, I noticed one of the baby geese had gone missing. :( I guess he died or was eaten by something in the nearby forest. Not too long after that, all of the geese disappeared. Hopefully they moved to a better pond. :P
I'll never forget how I felt hanging out with some geese for an hour a couple times each week. It was something magical that I wish I could have shared with someone else. Nature is truly amazing.
