Squirrel  from the start

Bushy tail twitches, eyes watch

Nature or nurture?

Art Prescription:  A baby squirrel crossed my path today. Little rat with a tail. And yet all the squirrel-like mannerisms were apparent. Did he/she learn this from a parent or is it just DNA? Either way she knew just what to do…swish her little tail and bolt up a tree with athletic finesse. Some things we are born with and some things we learn along the way. Either way it’s all about survival. Honor your senses!
