A path through the #wood up the #mountain. Where does it go? To secret #sacred places where no one else goes. To little #wildernesses and lost little valleys, where rare #plants thrive without the threat of big blind feet. To gentle trickling streams that give this place life. A place to sit and listen to what the mountain has to say. #SilentSunday #Cymru #Wales #Woodland #trees

Life continues.

I came across this tree today. It must have fallen many years ago, but a few roots held on, and the branches have become trees in their own right.

Narly Live Oak Tree at Fort Macon State Park

I'm fascinated by Live Oak trees. The twists and turns of their branches, their tenacity for surviving in harsh environments and their long lives. They are an amazing work of nature's art.

I discovered this tree in one of my local woods, which was a former gravel pit that has now been reclaimed by nature.

It looks like it must walk around the woods at night, but it's always in the same place when I visit it.

Walking on roads through the open forestry land near us means solitude. I rarely meet a soul. The dog and I have the place to ourselves. No sheep or cattle here and so Brodie can be off the lead. Freedom to roam means peace and quiet. We did see a Roe Deer yesterday. He stood quietly staring at us. I took a photograph before he leapt into the trees and was gone. A moment of complete happiness.

#isleofskye #happiness #woodland #walk #momentstoremember #Roebuck

“The roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), also known as the roe, western roe deer, or European roe deer, is a species of deer. The male of the species is sometimes referred to as a roebuck. The roe is a small deer, reddish and grey-brown, and well-adapted to cold environments. The species is widespread in Europe, from the Mediterranean to Scandinavia, from Scotland to the Caucasus, and east to northern Iran and Iraq.” None in this photograph but we did see one on the edge of these woods you can see at the side of the frame.

I visited some ancient woodland last week and ran into these magnificent coppice stools.
Coppicing is a form of woodland management that's been around since pre-history, but it's rare to find it looking as well-managed as this.
With cutting and regrowth, coppice can live for far longer than regular trees.
Hazels, like these, would normally be cut on something like a 7-year cycle.

I love a good bit of coppicing, me.

This is a familiar tree as I've shot it from a different angle in winter. I actually prefer this angle, so will be revisiting this scene in different conditions throughout the year.

I saw numerous birds flying in and out of the trunk while photographing it, so there's obviously at least one nest there.

I have some sad news to share today for anyone who visits the Ashridge Estate and knows it well.

One of the iconic trees was damaged by a winter storm and, following a safety assessment due to its proximity to a main path and subsequent attempts to save it, it has sadly had to be removed.

The tree arching over the path will no longer be in this wonderful view...

Here are a few images of the tree for the memories ❤️🌳

A recent image of an ancient oak tree with glowing lime green leaves in a local ancient woodland and former royal hunting grounds.

Not quite sure how big this tree is, but I'd estimate a girth in the 6-7 metre range.

Lots of hollowing out and, out-of-frame, dead branches amongst the canopy - both telltale signs of its ancient status.

Hello 👋

It's been a long time since I last posted.

Apologies for the radio silence - I've not had much to say these last few weeks, but I've been busy out in the woods capturing a relatively late spring.

We also had a family break in the Netherlands, which was much needed.

I hope you are all well and enjoying the change of season.

Below is an image from earlier this month.

Depending on who buys this local wood, which is on the market, the life of this ancient coppiced oak could be nearing its end.

I’ve roughly measured it at 2-foot up as about 25 feet in girth (above that it splays into several stems). My purple snood is hung on it to give a sense of scale.

It is part of ancient coppiced oak wood that was planted with non-native conifers in the 1960s. Like its companions it’s suffered shading as the spruce and fir have grown tall.

You're sure of a big surprise if you go down into the woods today at the National Trust's Wallington Hall, Northumberland, where a talented woodcarver has been at work on storm-damaged trees.
In Wallington Hall's East Wood, some of the damaged trees have been transformed into works of wooden art by chainsaw sculptor Tommy Craggs.
Not sure what sort of chainsaw in employed, but the detail is just amazing!
