tnrdCE_style. A close-up portrait of a squirrel with vibrant, Titian red fur, its eyes bright and alert. Snowflakes softly fall around it, blanketing the bare branches of a gnarled oak tree in a pristine white. The squirrel perches on a thick branch, its claws gripping tightly. Long, dramatic shadows stretch across the snow, cast by the low winter sun. The image captures the beauty and resilience of nature in the heart of winter.
