Busy Tails Beside the Big Oak Tree

A mother squirrel crouches at the base of a tall, sturdy tree, her fluffy tail curled high and her nose close to her playful babies. One of her babies grins with a mouth open wide, ready for giggles, while the other darts across the soft ground, little paws and round eyes full of energy. Tree roots twist around their feet and grass pokes up in tiny tufts nearby, making a perfect playground for scampering and chattering.

The mom watches over her little ones, keeping them close but letting them explore. The tree trunk rises behind the family, its bark lined with wiggly lines that look just right for climbing. The whole squirrel crew feels busy and bright, each tail curling like a playful question mark. There are lots of places here for both shady rests and leafy chases.
