We got some glorious autumn days right now, and since the way to my job place goes through part of the Forest Botanical Garden, I decided to bring my camera yesterday.
There's a little pond, too, which looks lovely right now.
I turned to take another shot.
When something threw something at me. And I could hear a crunching sound.
I looked up into the tree. It was camouflaged well, brownish against brown branches and yellow leaves, and against the low autumn sun.
Red squirrels are pretty common in Germany (we don't get the grey variant), and in the park they are not shy; they sometimes squirrel across the way right in front of you.
Another shot of the wee bugger in all its bushy-tailed glory.
I took some more photos of trees before I had to catch the bus home. If the weather holds, I should walk the other ways in the park with my camera, too.
Gorgeous colours, and I love the red squirrel! :) We're having fabulous warm weather here too, and I'm really enjoying it. :)
ReplyDeleteGlorious photos! Well done for getting a picture of the cute squirrel. We mostly have greys over here.
ReplyDeleteLove the pond shot. :) Your red squirrels have longer (tufted) ears than our red squirrels...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathryn, Carla and Constance.
