Porcupine and the Morning Forest Sun

A little porcupine perches right on top of a tree stump, his round nose sniffing the fresh morning air. His quills stretch out in every direction, catching the first warm rays of the sun. Behind him, the bright sun peeks over fluffy clouds and tall pine trees, filling the sky with straight glowing beams.

Leaves and pebbles rest quietly around the stump, while grass blades sprout up all around his feet. Each of the porcupine’s tiny paws grips the wood, and his curious eyes scan the peaceful clearing. The river nearby snakes through the forest, making this a perfect spot for this spiky explorer to start his day.

Fun Fact!

A porcupine has soft fur mixed in with its sharp quills, especially on its belly where there are no quills.
