Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

Looks like he's set for a cold winter. Great capture of wildlife!
Oh, Buddy! You're adorable! You and the reminder from John Muir. What a treat.
He certainly looks like he's getting ready for colder weather!
Lovely quote!

thank you ladies, he is a fatty isnt he? LOL!
Yes, he is quite the fatty! What a great shot and wonderful quote.
I was going to ask you what on earth kind of creature that was - he looks like a squirrel in a borrowed fur coat! But I see he's a Hoary Mormot.
I'm not a great deal wiser, but at least I know his name!
Thank you Robin and Jay for stopping by. Jay he is very large, much bigger then your average squirrel.
What a National Geographic shot! Looks like a groundhog
