Animal Photography: Small Squirrels

When the weather is fine, I often, with my family and friends, go for a stroll in the park, which is near by my house, to feel the beauty of nature.

These trees in the park are like the characteristics of person. Some of them are erect, whether they are suffering from the wind or rain, they stand upright. some of them are curving but vigorous and forceful.

when we were walking, we saw a lovely squirrel foraging under a pine tree. Soon, it was surrounded by many people.

As soon as it saw many people, it ran to the opposite wood.

This is a pretty thin and small squirrel, and inferior to squirrels I saw before. But it was very alert, and will flee at the slightest noise like other squirrel.

I didn't stop until it was disappear before my eyes.

After a while, we came to the side of lake. And I found that there were two squirrels fighting on the bridge. At last , one of them felled into the lake. Many people were worried of it and wanted to save it, but we failed to do it.

So it swam to the other side, and I was amazed that they can swim so long in a lake. At last it went in the hole of the riverside and disappeared before my eyes.

This was my first time that I saw their fighting and swimming. And what fun it is to see these lovely squirrels playing in a park. Hope you also enjoy it.

天气好的时候，我们一家人经常和朋友们来附近的公园里散散步。。园子很大，郁郁葱葱，古木高耸入云。

来这里随便走走，感受大自然，欣赏大自然总会让你的心灵得到一份宁静。这里的树木如同人的性格一样，有得笔直坚挺，任凭风吹雨打，永远挺拔的站着。有的弯弯曲曲，饱经风霜，依然苍劲有力。

走着走着发现一只小松鼠正在松树底下觅食。不到一会儿，在它周围就聚集了不少人。
看这小背影，是不是很可爱？这是一只看起来特别很瘦小的松鼠，没有以前看见的那些漂亮。不过四肢灵活，行动依然敏捷。带着长长的大尾巴，纵身一跳就好几米。。
它见情况不妙，转身就跑啦。
你还没反应过来，它已经穿过马路，跑到对面的树林里了。直到它的身影消失了，我才停下脚步。
过了一会儿，我们又转到湖边。
就在快要走到桥头的时候，又发现小松鼠的身影。这次居然是两只，而且它们不知道因为什么打起来了。争斗了好一会儿，以一只掉到湖里而告终。
大家都很着急，有的伸手想去救它。有的拿着木棍让它去抓。无奈它在水里跳的不高，试了几次未果。它就掉头向对岸游来。

我还是第一次见松鼠在水里游呢。不仅感慨，原来好多动物本能都会游泳的，只不过随着慢慢的进化，这些功能 不经常用就退化了。
最后这只小松鼠钻到岸边的洞里，就不见了踪影。

我们则继续向前走去。
