Fall walk in the woods.

It was a cold overcast windy day in Ashland. To cold and windy for a walk along the shore. So today it was a walk in the sheltered woods. Most of the vegetation was brown and lifeless. Few if any birds were seen or heard. This red squirrel was scratching around on the ground looking for some morsel of food. It's noise and movement drew my attention and it became the "capture of the day". The bonus "capture" an empty hornets nest.
