ALL HAIL THE KING

We have two kinds of squirrels here at Seasonality. There are the brown tree squirrels, and there are the grayish-black rock squirrels. One of the latter found himself a mate, moved into a new apartment (the French drains that direct runoff around our garage) and had a couple of kids. His favorite spot on the property seems to be at the end of that infamous half-painted retaining wall, which I can see out the window above my computer. Sometimes he is seated. Sometimes he is spread-eagle on the cool stone. My favorite is when he strikes his Master of the Universe pose, and just stands there for an eternity, surveying his realm.

You'd be amazed at how long he can hold that pose!
