Snowy nuts! ...........Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Superb squirrel image Dave. The snow really makes the image different. You were lucky to get some here in Scotland this winter.

I must say that I hadn't noticed the white blobs until I read Oscar's comment, it was the snow falling from its hands/head that caught my attention. A super shot.
