Life leaning towards light on a north country river.
I'm so very grateful for comments. I'll be cutting back on my responses to them so I can give more attention to visiting the kind people who offer them.
I'm wishing all of you a wonderful day and weekend!
Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me a comment!

When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix
the environment in which it grows,
not the flower.
Alexander Den Heijer
The dogwood tree in our yard is so tall, and the flowers are all at the top of the tree, so I had to use my long lens to capture them.
Golden morning light hitting this bough that ws reaching over a seasonal lake, usually dried by the end of summer. Reflections of the tree line on the opposite bank giving some nice colours and patterns to the background.
Bit different for me...probably will be a waterfall here tomorrow
Stretching his hand up to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet.

Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
You all have been an important part of getting through the difficulties of this past year, your beautiful and creative photos something positive to look forward to every day! I'm looking forward to seeing lots more, and sending you all a big virtual hug! Maybe one day some of us can actually meet.....
There was a time when I use to go on climbs like this and never brought a camera. At a certain point in my life I decided that it wasn't fair not to share these moments of pure awe with the people that would appreciate them. I started bringing my camera with me to these plces high in the sky where at the end of the day the light reaches out for one last kiss of the earth.
