One thing that causes a surprising spell of happiness is a squirrel's hop.
Horses and dogs have a gallop where the front and rear limbs alternate touching the ground - the visual effect being that of a seesaw, or an animal shaped rocking seat attached to a large spring, found on many playgrounds.
When a squirrel moves in a straight line toward or away from me, it's almost like the limbs never leave the ground - the visual effect is of vibration, skittering. And it makes me happy.
