After what seemed like a minute or so, all three young squirrels were having the time of their young lives, scrambling wildly from branch to branch. They move so quickly that their furry little bodies dissolve into a blur. All the while during their joyous hour of romping in the sun, mom was moving calmly from limb to limb, watching to make sure nobody ventured down to the ground. Any youngster climbing below the level of the house was quickly chased back to the safety of the higher branches, or back into the house itself. Mom can be seen at the left of the photo, the scolded youngster in the house.
