]]> Wildlife rehabilitators Christina and Michael helped a man who discovered a mother squirrel building a nest of twigs, dried pines and branches on his bed for her two newborn babies.

They tried reuniting the young squirrels with their mother but she refused to take them back out into the wild, instead, the mom continued to fetch nesting materials to the bed to surround her babies. Eventually, the mother stopped coming back and the two babies were adopted by local rehabbers.

Sadly, one of the newborn squirrels didn’t make it, and after being evaluated by a local wildlife vet, it was concluded that the surviving baby would not be able to live safely in the wild. So Christina and Michael decided to adopt the squirrel, which they named Little Thumbelina.

Thumbelina was a special case since the beginning.  Because of a rare birthing season and the loss of her sister, she grew up all by herself without the interaction with other squirrels.

Little Thumb’s progress is also slow. While most babies don’t care for milk once they taste real food, Thumb was a big baby with a bottle who snubbed real food. She’s also not interested in jumping and climbing but prefers walking and sitting.

Despite the family’s efforts in introducing Thumb to other squirrels, she wanted nothing to do with them. Today, Thumbelina is a happy eastern grey squirrel who loves to spend her time with her Mom and Dad. Her family considered her as their “little ambassador squirrel,” teaching people to realize how important it is to respect the wildlife and spread the message, “Each little life is big to the one living it,” the official website reads.

]]> Who doesn’t enjoy seeing amazing portraits of wildlife? Wild animals are powerful and beautiful, and artist Josie Morway knows exactly how to make them stand out in her paintings.

Birds are often a part of her oil and enamel paintings and she explained why:

“I don’t mean for them to be read too literally, but rather hope they lend a certain feeling of portentousness to the pieces. I like referencing religious icon paintings and other forms of ‘serious’ historic painting, but using animals and birds in the place of saints, etc. I’m going for the feeling of narrative realism, but working with a narrative that’s mysterious, missing some information, open to the viewer’s interpretation.”

When I went out for an early mtb shred this morning I was thinking (before the flat and the total fail) what a privilege it is to plunge into nature as often as I do in my urban setting. Which led me to think about what a privilege it is to gaze at and think about wildlife all day, to be allowed to turn my attention away from the man-made/man-unmade world. It’s healthy-making, it’s inspiring, it’s uncommon fortune denied many. So it must also be a privilege to feel so much discomfort in the early stages of paintings. This is the phase during which I'm not sure I'll ever finish a good one again, when I don't know if another decent idea will really make it from inkling to concept to hand to public eye. But that's a pretty rad sort of discomfort to sit with… it means that almost every day I get to push beyond the familiar, get to rethink my route, have the chance of being surprised by what emerges. Some days it's a flat tire but on another day it might be a masterpiece, and it’s a rare freedom I have, not knowing what kind of day each day will be.
