From The BBC: Your pictures of Scotland 12 - 19 February

[abqtommy]

I always enjoy the photos provided by the various news services I read. I'm not sure why I
seem to enjoy the photos of Scotland so much but then life is full of unexplained wonders.

1. The boy's yellow shovel says Amber Alert.

I looked it up and learned that an amber alert in Scotland is a snow warning.

Also, that's not just any snowman, it's THE snowman!

2. Sometimes I look things up. Other times I just enjoy the pics! I got some good perspective

this morning that snow isn't just for Texas or the U.K. Saw a lot of snow pics on Reuters of
snow in Lebanon, Jerusalem and Palestine with kids playing in the snow and building snow
people. We hoomans really are a family... Thanks for your input.

9. I wondered about that

Love that snowman pic you posted, as well as the one they built.

3. Ediburgh is one of my favorite cities.

I hope international travel will be easier in the not too distant future. Scotland will be on my itinerary when those happy days arrive.

13. the red squirrels are declining in population

[abqtommy]

14. I have pleasant memories of a Scottish woman who always called squirrels "squiddles".

Yup, there are lessons to be learned from the many declining numbers of wild creatures.

But I've always enjoyed the characterization of the Scottish squirrels in the animated movie
Open Season from 2006.
