Early Spring Photography

It seems that every spring when the weather starts to warm a little, I get overly excited about getting out and shooting all the nature subjects I imagined would be profusely abundant. The reality turns out to be quite different and I will have to be patient a bit longer. In the meantime I will take what I can and use my extra time on processing. This squirrel image was taken a couple of weeks ago. He has a good expression but the background was dull and distracting. Fortunately textures were close at hand and when incorporated with the image bring the viewers focus back on the innocent little squirrel.
