Nature's Acrobats

In summer I enjoy looking out the window at flowers blooming in the yard...


















At this time of year, with no flowers, I watch our neighborhood animals at play. Rabbits come out after sunset and nibble on low branches, which are easier to reach now that snow is deep in the yard.














I hardly ever notice them, they are so quiet. But the squirrels keep me entertained as they dig in the snow and run across power lines...














Occasionally they come closer, climbing up the clematis trellis, like this one was doing recently.














They're so amazing - these little acrobats. How do they survive outdoors these cold, cold winter days?!
