cold squirrel
With a wind-chill below zero, a little squirrel who lives in one of my trees tries to stay warm by cuddling down into himself and facing the sun broadside:

EDIT: OMG, he just got up, stretched really long, made the biggest yawn I've ever seen from a squirrel, and scampered off to eat (perhaps) some of my gingerbread house now sitting outside in the back yard.
EDIT2: Now he's hanging off the side of the fence getting warm with two buddies. The sun moved.
Best,
Chris
