Learning By Playing #II

 
 
Let´s take off from last time, would you like to join us?
Mama Peanut was eager to teach her Wee one cause that is what life is about, right?
 

 


(Sign: Caro had a parcel for us)

 



 
And... like a Lion-Mama she grabbed the Baby by the neck and took off! 
Who ever knew?! 
 

 But, yes!!! Mama did a very good job, cause... here is proof, just weeks later, in fact yesterday, I came into the living room and found...
 
 
He made it onto the balcony on his own!!!
They grow so fast! 
 
That deserves some credit, don´t you think?
I won´t attempt a portrait, but with...
 

 ... and ...
 

 And the "thing" itself... I join Elizabeth and Bleubeard with recycling once again:
 

 Bare with me, I´m a newbie, but this is why the squirrels visit us!

To "Wildlife" in the city!!!

I love the cute baby squirrel and the mother trying to teach it to climb. And how sweet that it left the walnuts for you to make this adorable mixed media entry with those watercolors and watercolor pencils. It's a cute ebntry for Bleubeard's and my theme at Art Journal Journey, Iris.

You got some great photos of Peanut and baby Peanut. I think he needs a name. It's fun to read about them and see those photos, and I'm thinking maybe Peanut needs a girl's name since she is a Mom. Peanutta maybe. It sounds more feminine- ha ha. Your walnut drawing is great too. It's a fun way to recycle for Elizabeth's challenge for certain.Have a great Easter Iris, and rest of your weekend too. And thanks for linking up to AJJ again. hugs-Erika

Henry looks both ute and funny at the same time! Oh Thank you for sharing us about the momma and child squirels! They are so cute and the story you wrote with it is like a cartoon dear Iris! I am super happy to be back here after a very long time! I moved to the EU now and I still cannot believe I am here! I wish you a happy Easter and enjoy the beautiful spring!

I can't believe how cut baby Peanut is, Iris. You will be able to watch her grow up. I love the shots that you took of them.

Jeanie said...

This is the cutest thing ever. I've never seen a baby squirrel (which surprises me, given how many grown ones I see every day!). He's so cute!
