Grey Squirrel


Paddled over to the Village....quiet...no pics today....Shuttled back...fiddled with the computer to make some prints...time, and while brushing teeth, sighted Grey Squirrel climbing down Cedar outside the Window....cloudy, sprinkles, cool....'Grey Squirrel is out and about all Winter'....friend at work agreed, and suggested it was so for Bobcat and Coyote...'yes!' I said...well, pbs has a show on about buddha tonight, and dont know if all that is so, but I like the Deer Park part....oh...talkabout Ravens too...why so many Ravens about the Valley....and what Ravens find to eat...often seen eating Snow....and yesterday, sighted Ravens eating Chinquapin Seed Pods(oh...not sure now, after checking, what shrub is!...will update when I find it!---Spice Bush)...picked a few for Raven my own self......'not much in them'....'Ravens never look under fed'...and here's a link to a blog with a Valley clip of Raven, and blogger looks to have pet Raven...dont miss edgar allen poe animation movie....

quote
Sarnath, from Saranganath, means "Lord of the Deer" and relates to another old Buddhist story in which the Bodhisattva is a deer and offers his life to a king instead of the doe the latter is planning to kill. The king is so moved that he creates the park as a sanctuary for deer. The park is still there today.
