Morning Lookout

One of my favorite squirrel photos. I'd just woken up at a place in the Cairngorms with a forest right behind it, and there this one was, perched on a branch like a little sentinel watching over the woods. In reality, probably just scanning for breakfast. A moment later, off it went, darting across the forest floor after some nuts.
