"The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers..."
Meher Mount
Your Friday photo…
This photo of two ground squirrels enjoying the warmth of the sun at Meher Mount was taken by guest caretaker Juan Mendez in August 2024.
Ground Squirrels generally live in parts of Washington, Oregon, California, and Baja California and are often seen at Meher Mount.
Some of the animals that call Meher Mount home stay out of the sun during the day, but bask in the sun in the evening to warm themselves.
“The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world’s joy.”
Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) was a Congregational minister whose oratorical skill and social concern made him an influential Protestant spokesman in his time. He was an abolitionist and worked with the women's suffrage movement in the United States. He often used metaphors of nature to convey moral and spiritual lessons about universal love.
