My Sacred Life


I saw this squirrel on the pathway where I was walking Saturday morning. I don't usually see them preserved like this, as if he had just fallen in the same position he died. I try to let death shock me when I see it - an instant reminder of how short life is. I went home to get my camera and when I returned, these two people, Charlotte and Eric were also noticing the squirrel. We talked and they ended up helping me with the shoot. It felt comforting to be sharing in this strange event with them. I love America, where you can meet unknown friends on a path during a dead squirrel shoot. Thanks Charlotte and Eric. I hope to see you at the art show on Dec 12th.
