And on a day as beautiful as today, why not. The park is again looking perfect in its mid-winter finery. Above: The New Orangery, home to the Belvedere Restaurant, a great place for fine food any time of year.
Above: For some reason, when calling to squirrels in Polish, you address them (regardless of gender) as 'Basia'. The park's squirrel population is as hyperactive as a council estate-full of radio-controlled toy cars on Christmas Day. They will charge up to any passing human and demand food. If not forthcoming, they will scamper off to the next one. Or ransack a nearby bird table.
Below: through the trees, the Old Orangery. Moments, lost in wonder.
I've never seen squirrels that look like that--amazing! There are probably three times as many burrowed underground trying to keep warm. Maybe they're coming up in teams, trying to vie for as much food as fast as possible before sending the next tag team up. Wonderful photos.
