Photos might come in a slightly strange order from our recent Russian holiday, as I took a film camera and a digital one and therefore have photos from as it were days 1-4, 7-13 and 16-18 available now, and the others in a few days. So, here are some pictures from Gatchina, the least-visited and most relaxing of the many palaces of St. Petersburg. Well, the palace is a bit of a dump (as palaces go), but the gardens are lovely.
It is difficult to get a shrew to pose for you, unless (as here) it is dead.
This frog was more obliging.
And this red squirrel was the sciurine equivalent of Angelina Jolie or Tom Cruise: it would have signed autographs if I'd had a pen and it had had opposable thumbs.
