Songbird, Solitude and a Squirrel

Hello everyone!  A very warm welcome to you all!  The video I have chosen for this post is a tranquil, beautiful 5 minute one entitled 'Dan Gibson's Solitudes - Songbird'.  If you love the sound of birds singing and tranquil music, you will definitely enjoy this as much as I do!  The image in the video stays the same throughout, so you can listen to it without having to watch it.  Enjoy!

The photos I am sharing today are ones that I took on my walk yesterday.  I found a sweet squirrel who didn't mind posing for me.  You just need to click on the images to see a larger view.

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I always appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you are always welcome to share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  6. Bonjour,

    Un plaisir que de regarder et d'écouter cette vidéo...

    Vos photos de cet écureuil sont très belles. Hier après-midi avec mon ami Icarus lors de sa promenade j'ai constaté malheureusement un écureuil qui avait fait une mauvaise rencontre, celle d'une voiture.
    Gros bisous

  12. both beautiful quotes, the music is is lovely and such sweet squirrel, I saw my third squirrel this year, all red with a huge fluffy tail ran across the country road and made the car in front of me swerve, I was so happy to see him and that he didn't get smushed!

  17. Squirrels are real characters aren't they? For some reason our squirrels are never too near our house...maybe we don't have the trees that appeal to them. I always enjoy watching them go about their business when I see them.
