Whitehurst Diaries: attempting to be invisible
2026-01-15 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst
In this issue of Sharon's diaries, she writes, "I recognize that squirrels can be a nuisance, rummaging, chewing, getting in where they aren't wanted. The squirrel families in residence here are thus far sharing our acreage very politely, which allows me opportunities to enjoy them. Not the best photo, but the best I could achieve with my little camera and 20 minutes dedicated to leaning against a nearby tree, attempting to be invisible." Comments | Permalink
