captured by my lens; confused
still with invisible

choose fight or flight, not frozen
or end up in a deep freeze

cute poem, reminded of the squirrels in our place

Thank you, Sayee:) Squirrels have mastered cute:)

What did it choose? I believe it chose both :D

Oh this little guy could have chosen any of it ... squirrel isn't on the menu at my house ... lol:)

That's a relief! lol!

Good one Pryde :)

Thanks, Paul:)

You got a rare shot there! :D

Thanks, Deb. It was a lucky captured, wasn't it:)

Aww, the poor little guy/gal might end up in the deepfreeze. Though I know better, still very very funny. Good job.

Haha ... I swear no squirrels were harmed in the making of this post:)

I'm glad to hear that. The *S.P.C.T.C.N.C.R. W. would appreciate it. As do we of the Steemit world of readers. Have a peachy day out yonder.
