Do you ever find that you totally missed a cool element of a photograph during initial review because the element was not near the center of the image? Today I looked over some squirrel shots from a week and a half ago and realized that the photo of a squirrel perched on the trunk of a tree was a whole lot more interesting than I had previously thought.
Hide and seek
My attention had been so drawn to the downward-facing squirrel (is that a yoga pose?) that I didn’t even notice the squirrel in the upper right corner, peering out from inside the hollow tree. That squirrel is so cute that I enlarged the corner of the photo so you can appreciate its cuteness even more.
Cute squirrel
By itself, the cute squirrel would have been worth posting, but in combination with the other squirrel, it’s a really fun image.
The lesson learned for me is that I need to look at my photos more carefully during my first review or take the time to look at them later a second time with fresh eyes.

Love this shot!!!!!
Always fun to find good surprises.
I love watching squirrels. Even though they work hard to survive they seem to have such fun doing it.
Indeed. They seem to follow the slogan that I think that some company uses for advertising, “Work hard, play hard.”
