Today in the park



A few very busy days. I use my lunch break for a walk in the park as I often do to clear my head. The colours are still lovely although much of the foliage has already been shed. But the light is diffused. There are misty clouds rolling across the sky. No sunlight to be caught by the remaining leaves.

Between the trees, a movement. A squirrel has found a nut. But it is not alone. Three crows also appear to be after an easy meal. One hops toward the squirrel. The squirrel backs off, then decides to fight back. It's the crow's time to withdraw. But the back up is coming in shape of the other two crows. The squirrel makes one more attempt at defending the nut, then gives up, dashes across the lawn past the near-by tree and finally disappears in the copse.

The squirrel needed some backup of his own.

Loved the narrative - well done!
The squirrel looks like he's flying.

The narrative is fantastic! And I surprised the squirrel could run that fast -- and even more surprised the ground could, too! ;)
