I went outside to get shots of the birds in the snow, but it was too cold to wait for them to come back after I spooked them. This Red Squirrel was more than happy to pose for me, so I wasn't totally disappointed!

I think he was smiling at me, but I could be wrong! He was probably thinking his fur coat was much warmer than the coat I was wearing!

Thank you! We have had some nasty weather lately, and we just lost our electricity for a couple of hours. Luckily it's back on now.

Thanks Craig. The wind was blowing, and the sun was so deceiving!

Thanks Jeff. We've had every kind of weather lately. Snow, sleet, freezing rain, rain, wind, and occasionally, a little sunshine!

Thank you very much! Hopefully you still have plenty of animals, even if they are not colorful!
