Autumnal.

We took Islay out for a walk this afternoon on a stretch that forms part of a cycle route. We normally let her off the lead when we go through the fields so that she can have a good run to fetch her ball. This may or may not result in mud/ sticky balls/ seeds/ bits of twig becoming attached to her fur. ( Delete as appropriate - but don't bother today....)

We also saw lots of these- the squirrels will be enjoying full tummies this winter.
