Hanging upside down

Snow and hoar frost created the bokeh in this image. A few of us went for a morning's walk in the Weaselhead Natural Area on 3 December 2012. The sun was shining, the sky blue and everywhere looked like a beautiful Christmas card. Down at the bottom of the long hill, we stood and watched as this little native Red Squirrel hung upside down by its back feet, determined to get to the seeds that were inside this rusty old tin. Feeders are not allowed (in theory) in Weaselhead and occasionally some are removed, but some still remain.
