jerry.




i thought he was a leaf on the sidewalk. one o'clock in the morning a tiny ball, curled tight, sound asleep, freezing cold. got him warmed, hydrated and eventually fed. i could raise him, he's healthy and strong. but he's also lonely and needy. needy is ok, he should be. its the loneliness that broke my heart.





i have a strong desire to watch him grow. but there is a much better place for him than with me.



goodbye loneliness. a family of 3 other orphans. a rehabilitator in fairfax. thank goodness for the wildlife rescue league! stay tuned.

  1. This is (even more) than I'd expect from a tree hugger such as you...and, yep, there are very few like you. A spirit is hard- sometimes impossible- to see. You not only see them, you-- "capture" is too harsh and ambiguous a word--preserve? borrow?--certainly "share" is then a good word for what happens next.I'm glad you found photography and I'm glad you found the little squirrel. Thanks for sharing (and caring) Gary
