Timidity


At times I think we can all be timid from time to time, especially when facing new things. As I wander about in the wildnerness, I am always on the lookout for animals. I've seen some timid animals, especially deer and even elk from time to time. However, squirrels, while quick, are often bold. When I spotted this little guy up in the tree, I was startled. He was so timid, reminding me of my own moments when I was afraid to face the world. Although timid, he remained calm - perhaps because he knew I couldn't get to him. I've gone back a couple of times and he will only peer out at me. I wonder now if he's a baby and is too young to go anywhere on his own? Any ideas?
