Fragile by

Life is fragile, no matter how small or large of a creature you are.

As I was walking around just shooting everything around me (that’s what I like to occasionally do, especially since it’s fall), I came upon this squirrel just lying in the middle of the street. He had no sign of why he died, he was just cleanly laying there dead. I figured this would be a nice chance for a photo. His eyes open, almost as if he is watching. Almost as if he watched me take his picture. I feel bad for the little guy though.
