~ ~ NO SQUIRRELS WERE HARMED DURING THE TAKING OF THIS PHOTO, NOR DURING THIS HEAT WAVE ~ ~ This particular squirrel was just hopping and jumping across the wall just seconds before he abruptly stopped and laid out flat as a pancake! Actually, this is a normal routine for the resident squirrels, we just haven't figured out if it's to cool down, or just to antagonize our dogs during these +100 degree days!!

What a moment!! the heat can knock you flat, I know. Great catch of a real moment, Laurie! I wanted to stop in to say I love you and wish you a very Blessed Christmas! I am always thinking of you and really would love to make my way to the coast soon. My Sister, Mary Lou Cupp also lives there with her family. I have been trying to save money to come and visit. If you have the time I bet she would be thrilled to have you look at her art too. Mary joined this site a few months back. You are ever in my heart, Sister! CBRandy Kroll 27 Sep 2006

LOLOL...Great Capture!! I believe it is how they cool down..last year at the Grand Canyon in 95+ they were doing the same... A few times I looked over the edge and there would be one just laying out overlooking the whole canyon...it was quite funny...I don't know if I got a shot of that or not..i'll have to go look..
