An acrobatic squirrel with an impossibly fluffy tail stretches down for the biggest, juiciest blackberry he’s ever seen while the bees look on with interest. Underneath the thicket, a second squirrel nibbles at another plump blackberry and gossips with a bee as the brambles droop heavily with fruits.
