Westmorland Gazette reader Ruth Southall, of Kendal, took these lovely pictures.
Ruth said: "My mother and I went red squirrel hunting at Shap Wells Hotel. We came across these lovely little fellows and thought readers of the Gazette might like to see them too. They were taken on a Sony Alpha 350 DSL."
