A fairly easy choice for this week's choice for my Project 52, although one of my recent B&W shots was a possibility.
We had put our Christmas tree out in the back yard, leaning up against our shed. I remember making a comment at the time that I'd better not find any squirrels making a home in it.
I was off work on the Monday, alone at home, and puttering around with my camera when I heard what I thought were birds at the bird feeder. I peeked out the back door window and saw this red squirrel running around inside the tree branches, snacking on small pine cone buds. He definitely saw me, and was only about 4 feet away. There was no way I could open the door to take the shot, so I poked the lens through the blind and snapped a few.
The only thing I did to this photo was crop it and increase the saturation a little to bring out the squirrels colour a little more.
I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
