Fresh Air and Wildlife!

I'm back! Meg and I have spent the last three days in Scotland with Lynne. The Scenery is breathtaking and although it was a little bracing at times we got out for a walk every day. Here are a few photos.
Lichen encrusted tree trunks,
 
A male bullfinch,
 
A red squirrel (his ear tufts are being blown flat in the wind!)
 
Another red squirrel, who loves to pose for the cameras,
 
A lovely sunset over the river,
and a tree (well, I have to include trees somehow!). Now I think I have an Andy Skinner stamp that looks a bit like that...
Well, thanks for looking. Hope you have a great Easter weekend!

    Ooh, lucky you! Love those squirrels. It's a long time since I was in Scotland but I remember how beautiful it was. Glad you managed to get out every day and it looks as if it was worth it! Nature's amazing x

    I'm glad you had a lovely few days away with Lynne, Sally. I thought about you driving up on Tuesday but thankfully the bad weather seemed to arrive Wednesday. It looks like you missed it up there.
    Love the trees, very atmospheric.
    Hope you have a lovely Easter.
    Hugs Lisax

    Your photos are delightful - the final one is just a wonder & they're not that easy to photograph! Your posing squirrel reminds me of the Scandinavian red squirrels that used to sit on my Grandfather's shoulder in Sweden.
    Have a lovely Easter.

    I love the tree and the sunset, that's exactly the kind of picture I would take as well. But my favorite is the red squirrel - such a cutie. Here we only have grey squirrels - they come into my garden and munch on the peanuts (and also steal from the birdfeeders,of course) and are quite a sassy bunch, but endearing at the same time. I love to watch them chasing each other.
