A picture of a squirrel “flying” through the air

This is a 6 minute rough draft for the photo prompt.
Sitting in the window seat, I was watching the squirrels at play. We had a lot of trees and that drew a lot of squirrels. I enjoyed watching them scamper through the trees chasing each other and searching the yard for food to store up.
My father was outside doing yard work, which he thoroughly enjoyed and the squirrels were used to him and a few would even approach him warily.
As I continued watching the sky opened up and it started raining. My dad put his yard tools away and the squirrels in the yard scamped to the covering provided by the trees. I was surprised to see a red squirrel this time. They are not usually found in the area, but this one didn’t like the rain and I saw him fly through the air and land on a branch of a tree near my window. I continued watching, fascinated by the actions of these little critters.
The rain came down harder and they all were hiding in the tree’s branches trying to stay dry. I got up from my seat and headed to my bedroom to get a book to read. There would be no more squirrel watching while it was storming out there.
