Squirrel Burying Acorns in Monsoon Shadow

Dense green ferns and wet earth dominate the foreground, slick with monsoon rain. A small squirrel crouches low, its fur darkened by moisture, paws digging into the soft soil. Deep shadows swallow the undergrowth, while a thin rim of evening light traces the curve of its back and the edge of a raised ear. Light fog drifts low across the forest floor, blurring the background trees near Bandung into soft gray shapes. The animal pauses, motionless, with a dark acorn held firmly in its front paws. one drop of water rests on the tip of a nearby leaf, reflecting the faint twilight sky.
