*: Illustration Friday : Balance

Illustration Friday : Balance

Here is a quicky picture of what baby squirrels look like, trying to learn to walk on the wires. They sometimes lose their balance and fall right off! In the spring, I was walking down the street, and I heard a "plop". When I turned around, a surprised little squirrel was looking around all embarrassed and then he rushed off. Poor little guy!

they are so cute when they are little & akward. and your drawing is so adorable!!! i wish i didn't have bad memories of really tame huge squirrels when i went to school in MN in the dead of winter. rats with puffy tails. but i'm sure you could make rats look cute too!

oh i so love squirrels and your little fellows are just too funny. We have a game of replacing the word squirrel in songs that say girl, give it try. squirrels just wanna have fun. squirrels, squirrels, squirrels! My brown-eyed squirrels. okay, that's just too sad isn't it!
