The other day I was cutting trimmed branches in the yard when 2 squirrels chased each other down the tree trunk - suddenly they realized a human was there and they froze for a minute staring at me. I guess they decided I wasn’t to be trusted since I had clippers. Anyway, that’s what inspired this.

Creative work always comes out better when you’re not thinking about how it has to look for an audience, but rather how much fun you have when you make it.
