Will squirrels have a long, long sleep during the winter?

When I was a little girl, I loved watching squirrels on cartoons! In my memory, they were living in the hole of trees and would have a long, long sleep during the whole winter.

Luckily, I am now living in Boston and there are a lot of cute squirrels. I am always curious about their home. All the time, I try to find holes in the tree and say hello to squirrels. But once I tracked a family of squirrels and found that they actually lived in the nest just like birds. I am a little bit disappointed. The fairy tale in my mind is shattered.

Today’s point is how to take photos of animals.
1.       Getting the eyes in focus is key to capturing a photo of animals. Remember, miss the eye and you’ve missed the shot.
2.       Animals need to be large in the frame, but photographers should leave some room in front of the face.
3.       Just like human photography, animal photography can be ruined by a bad background. Litter, roads, and other manmade objects often detract from animal photographs.
4.  Catching an animal in the middle of an activity or interacting with its surroundings can create a powerful image.
