Okay. This picture is very poorly composed. This is an example of one of those "be sure to leave your camera set on auto because you never know when you'll see the UFO" pictures. I shot this picture in auto because I KNEW the squirrels wouldn't stick around very long. And I was right because about 10 seconds after I took this picture they disappeared. So anyway, I took this picture in the auto mode, but I forgot to change my ISO setting from 600 to ISO auto. And BINGO! Lots and lots of noise and an under exposed picture. I shot the picture through my Dad's window and all of that combined makes for a bad picture. But hey, it's cute!! I thought the squirrel up above and the other squirrel down below would make a cute and interesting picture.
Just remember to set your ISO to auto when shooting in the auto exposure mode, or else you'll end up with a picture like this...
Edit: You may be wondering why a high ISO setting would result in a darker picture. I think it was because the camera's computer was fighting with the ISO. In the end, the camera won. Had the ISO been set to auto, the camera would have probably set a slower shutter speed and a lower ISO allowing more light to enter the camera.

I took this picture last Spring.
This bush is in my neighbor's yard. I love it. I've been tempted to dig it up late some night and plant it in my yard, but I think they would notice.
This bush blooms lavender flowers each spring. I'm not sure what the name of it is but I've seen them around town in other people's yards.
