Another Enchanting Companion of Autumn: Part 2



Autumn holds so much Beauty.
 It is Powerful,  Secretive, Magical and striking in every color.



And this Beauty shows up in surprising ways,
Even in the Furry Faces of Creatures!
What a gentle little Soul!




While taking a photoshoot at my mother's home, this little fella snuck up with curiosity.
He was spying on me the whole time and would inch his way up closer and closer..eventually he became the Star in my feature shoot..and he made his way into every scene!

We both seemed smitten with one another.
Must have been the spirit of someone visiting from beyond the beyond.



 With the Arrival of Black Squirrel , suddenly a New Realm opened right up! And for me.. it embodies a stunning scene of Autumn's Palette of Energy..with the Midnight Essence of his fur and the brown brick of Earth and Orange Glow all around!

Animals who show up at the most curious of times..can be Messengers. And if we listen in ..we may hear a Whisper of Magic within our Heart.




Sweet Black Squirrel tells me to take chances..Risk your Heart..step into the Scenery of Life..to join in and make Friends with the even the most curious of strangers!

Black squirrel charmed his way into my little world. Be open to those who find a Kindred in you and be Grateful for all friends in whatever form they may appear.



 Black Squirrel lets me see that Special Interactions happen in Mysterious Ways..and that the most Unexpected Angels can show up on anyone's door! 

Black Squirrel teaches me that the most Magical Elements may show up in an unexpected way..in new faces..new colors...in new ingredients..all to Synchronize and Create an even greater Depth to the Beauty of Life in every scene.

The Universe sends in..the most divine accessories of magic when we are Creating..allow them in!

(Thanx for modeling and adding life to my photos little Mystic Squirrel!)




Be open to Unexpected Guests and the Gifts they bring! Be open to the Gentle Spirit in every creature you see.

Kiwi, what fun and beautiful pictures. We do not have the black squirrels or even the dark brown ones here in my state and I think they are so pretty. Your Fall display is so lovely and I thing the squirrel is checking to see if its edible ;-) Curious little thing.

What a cheeky little squirrel! :)
Thanks for the smile!
I love those pink mums with the orange pumpkins! :)

azplantlady said...

That little squirrel is just too cute! I didn't know that black squirrels existed. Growing up in California, we had brown squirrels near the coast and gray squirrels in the mountains, but I have never seen a black one.

Your photos are beautiful and I enjoyed the escapades of your little friend.

What a sweet little guest! I've never seen a black squirrel. It is good for us to take the time to watch these unexpected guests, even watching the squirrel run off with the sunflower heads up into the trees made me laugh today.
I always enjoy your posts!

Kanak Hagjer said...

Kiki, what an enjoyable post! Like the other commenters, I've never seen a black squirrel too. Cute and the series of photos were a treat!!

Wendy said...

How nice! We used to have a black squirrel visit us every day around the same time. We started giving him nuts and he would literally be waiting on the porch for them. He'd grab a few and run back into the woods. Saw him for a few years in a row.

Tatyana@MySecretGarden said...

Last time when I saw black squirrels, I was as young as my boys are now. Your pictures made them excited! It's a real Halloween squirrel!

Autumn Belle said...

wow, what a delightful way to start my day. He's gorgeous. I didn't know you could get black squirrels. I've never even seen a red squirrel with my own eyes as the greys have reduced their number so dramatically here in the uk. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. Love your photos. The colours are so vibrant. And the black squirrel...I've never seen one before. It (although not the typical mysterious black cat) adds to the effect of halloween.

Kiki said...
