A couple different thoughts come to mind while looking at this shot. All of them provoked by the eye squint. Is he squinting to lower the amount of light his eye lets in, so he can see further into a dark space? Or is it a safety habit in case something were to jump out? Or could it be a squint of intense precision to not break away the bark from his highly engineered food source? Hmmmmm?

Here's one I found in the file-pile.
I saw this funny little beast while doing a hike near Mt. Baker a couple summers ago.
Here we see Dill, eye barely open, her head on pale Nutmeg, and tuxedo Nigel, backed up in view on the right- Cat Pile!!
Happy Caturday - "Something in the Eyes"
first shot only grabbed his front half, but it was pretty sharp, sadly this is the best I can offer. I guess I can hope to see him again someday under better circumstances, hope he wasn't just passing through...
There is a lot to dislike for many people during Minnesota winters. As you get older and more vulnerable, walking on snowy and icy parking lots can quickly become a life-changing event.
But there are some positive aspects as well as illustrated by the surreal foggy landscape interrupted by two dots of eagles high on a tree squinting for unfortunate prey scurrying across the snow below.
I have wanted to get this location for such a long time after seeing images from the likes of Trevor Cotton and Spencer Brown and an opportunity arose over the weekend that I couldn't turn down, high tide at sunset!!
I arrived on location only to struggle finding the entry point for the forshore this gem sits on, 10 minutes later and some local hash heads gave the game away, after being told it was a 5 - 10 minute walk by the above mention weed smokers I arrive 32 minutes later......with the sun setting behind a bank of cloud.......gutted, so what was a promising bit of light and I end up on a recce!
I still really struggle with LE's at this time of day due to the ever changing light! Give me a grey day and I'm good, but sunrise or sunset and I start to have issues!
Anyway, after a fair bit of time sat at the PC, this is the end result from that recce and to be fair, Im fairly pleased with it! I would love feedback from the people that know this location as I feel there are issues with my editing!
360 Seconds of LE goodness here!

Nei giorni di nebbia puoi smettere per un attimo di guardare, puoi respirare, ed ascoltare… chiudi gli occhi e concentrati sulle tue sensazioni, perchè anche un giorno di nebbia non è per caso.
(Stephen Littleword)
Quando ci sono le giornate di nebbia, salgo sui Colli. Da lì il mondo appare diverso, nascosto. Posso immaginare, sentire, il mondo che vorrei. E in quei momenti la mia musica preferita è il silenzio dei pensieri.
