A squirrel practicing a yoga cobra pose or maybe just escaping to the cool of the concrete porch.

Perfect yoga cobra pose

Many squirrels hang around our house north of Dripping Springs. They love the acorns, the grain in the feed we put out for the birds, and somehow really love the pink fluffy insulation in our attic. This one frequently visits the porch to cool his belly, especially when it's over 100 degrees. His pose on a hot day in June 2011 struck me as the perfect cobra pose.
