America, One Moment at a Time — #25

Who Really Owns the Park?

One thing I’ve noticed during our American sojourn:

The wild squirrels and rabbits in the public gardens seem remarkably unafraid of people.

They simply carry on with their lives, right among us.

And then we spotted something I hadn’t expected. A wild rabbit with its baby, living right there in the garden.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby rabbit so close before.

They seemed completely at home.

The squirrels seemed equally comfortable.

Then I came across this cartoon.

A dog watches the squirrels and says:

“It’s the sense of self-entitlement I detest most.” 😄

That made me laugh.

Perhaps these squirrels aren’t fearless.

They’ve simply decided the park belongs to them.

And we humans?

Perhaps we’re just the visitors. 😄

Thank you for reading! What did the story make you think or feel? I’d love to hear from you in the comments. 😊
