When it’s not been raining, days have been mostly overcast so I made the most of yesterday’s clear blue brightness to stroll locally with my Richoh GRiii. I cannot go far as being in a clay-based area, many of the footpaths need duckboards to traverse plus I have a mobility problem that is frustrating and somewhat painful. Still we must push our boundaries and plod on and seeing that it’s now February I wanted to survey the trees before they bud out leaves and change their appearance. I began with this old snag of a dying Ash. A lone boundary tree with hollowed out roots which resemble open-mouthed crocodiles; a sure sign of a sooner-than-later demise. It’s a choice lookout for corvid flocks surveying the sheep fields all around and also a favourite of mine, as even dendrophiles have their special ones.
One for Monochrome Monday because even though the sky was blue, the light worked best in Black & White
