red on red

With the lens cover back on my camera, I enjoyed a quiet walk back to my car. Then I saw a red squirrel high in a red pine tree. I decided to watch this small creature rather than capture it with my camera. After a few quiet minutes, I began thinking how as a teenager I delighted looking into the eyes of these small motionless squirrels. Giving in to the desire to share the joy of these moments, I took the lens off my camera and continued watching.
