**I was inspired by my husband to write this brief photographic tribute to urban squirrels. None of these photographs I have taken myself (though I wish!) so I gave credit to the sites where I’ve found them.**
You have to be adaptive to be an urban animal
Where there is space, create opportunity
The dumpster here today may not be here tomorrow
While the urban forest is often the best place to be
Sometimes you have to follow the money
The drey sometimes has to be on 5th Ave
And with this hustle comes a short life
Especially when they’re out to get you
But as an urban animal, you can’t afford not to overcome barriers
Otherwise, where would you be?
This is really beautiful, Anastasia.
Thanks Danny
This is great Anastasia. My friend Morgaine did a documentary on the grey “non-native” squirrel here in the UK, with respect to how some people make it their national priority to get rid of these squirrels. It’s tough to watch but enlightening: http://vimeo.com/9523678
