Description
How do I love thee? Let me taste the ways ... this desert squirrel selected lunch, sampled a petal, then proceeded to consume the entire blossom, petal by petal. How he managed not to impale himself/herself on the extremely sharp needles of the common cholla cactus is a mystery.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
Elizabeth Barrett Browning - 1806-1861
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

How the squirrel is sitting on that thorny cactus plant and enjoying that beautiful flower is such a beautiful capture. I really can't stop looking at the picture, it is so lively.

If you enlarge the photo, you can see he is stuck with several needles in his fur …
