Autumn Nut Treat

Now is a busy time of the year for red squirrels and here is one eyeing up a nut to pop into its cheeks, scamper to a hiding spot and squirrel them away for winter.  Or perhaps it can't wait and is about to crack open this tasty treat  The card came from Anastasia in Moscow who themed the card with flora stamps of trees.
2015: Flora of Russia (Design - A. Povarikhin)
I like the balance of these stamps with the trees in a misty background, perhaps this is the mist of autumn days. On the left is the maple (Acer platonoides) which always puts on a superb colour show at this time of year. On the right is a tree enjoyed by a multitude of birds, the Greek Juniper (Juniperus excelsa).
