Squirrel Burying Acorns on Black Forest Ridge

by Bill Edwards

Copper-toned light spills across a wind-scoured ridge in the Black Forest, illuminating a red squirrel mid-action as it digs into damp, dark soil. The animal's fur holds a sheen of moisture from the recent rain, against the dry, brown needles scattered across the ground. Its front paws grip a single acorn, pressing it into the earth while its tail curls upward against the fading horizon glow. The ground texture reveals clumps of wet moss and exposed roots, hinting at the turn of seasons. Behind the squirrel, the ridge drops off into a soft blur of twilight shadows, where the last light wraps the distant treeline in a warm, fragile haze. A small patch of green moss clings to a stone near the digging paw.
