Summer meets Autumn

The hound very rarely catches squirrels in the park. But this time of year, with more squirrels than trees, I tend to hold my breath. Sure enough she took one by surprise and snatched it up while it was investigating a discarded chip bag. Luckily, as she’s soft jawed and just plain soft, the squirrel got away unharmed for another day’s chase.
The sight of these flowers kind of helped to calm my nerves.
