A winter wonderland

Some photos from Caird Park earlier today (16 December 2022) – click on any photo to enlarge it and use the arrow keys to navigate forward/backward through the photos. I hope you like them. I have also posted videos of the deer spotted earlier today, you may view these below the gallery.

Looking West towards Mains Castle
Looking North-East away from Mains castle
The Gelly burn flowing past Mains castle toward the Dighty.

Dens of Mains, frozen ponds
Looking North over Den of Mains lower pond
Footbridge / sluice between upper/lower ponds
Looking North-East over Den of Mains lower pond
Looking South-East over Den of Mains upper pond, the sun low in the sky barely seen through the trees

Looking East along the nothern route around Den of Mains.
Snow covered pine
Looking West along the northern route round Den of Mains
For a largely snow covered area I thought this was odd – signs of animal activity possibly foraging in the undergrowth (or someone has emptied a flask)
Looking to the South-West over the golf course, at the Gelly Burn footbridge.
Looking West along the Gelly Burn
Looking South towards Graham Street from the Gelly Burn.
And looking North from the Gelly Burn (in line with Graham Street to the South)

Do, a deer, a female deer
Wait, are you looking at me?
Two deer – Re and Mi?
I had “snow idea” I would see any deer let alone three. Santa must be close by.
Do, Re, Mi – or wait is it Dasher and Dancer and Prancer?
Careful – humans might be crossing the road (or taking photos).

Funny looking badger stuck up a tree? – or it might be a squirrel
