I've been stuck in the house with a bronchial infection since I came home from Santa Fe last week and I've been itching to go out in the beautiful weather we had here today in Los Angeles, but, resting was more important so I can return to work tomorrow.
For years my fence has been a pathway for the neighborhood squirrels that drive my dogs crazy. I have always wanted to get out and have them pose for me (sure!). So while reading OPF today, I saw one of them, though the window, sitting on the fence and by the time I got the camera out and the 100-400 on it, of course the squirrel had gone on to torture the other dogs in the neighborhood. So after reading the post about how Ben Lifson mentors photographers, I decided that there had to be something out there worthwhile to shoot, even while in my pajamas, and among the gray tones of winter, even in Los Angeles area, I saw some first signs of Spring right there in my own backyard among the chirping birds and barking dogs and buzzing bees....
