Summer in the trees…

Trees and roads go together well; a walk along any road through trees an adventure.

Who’s to know what you may find at the end of that tunnel, perhaps a topiary steam train will come rushing towards you with leaf and whistle, forcing you onto the platform safety of the fern strewn verge.

Or add some sunshine to the canopy above and suddenly you are walking through a lightshow of a world; bright and shade, dark and dappled, mossy green greenest - the breeze sharpening then blurring to soft focus.

Cool, still, deep, green, and calm. Listen to the birds; the day is full of birds, imagined trains, sunshine.

Summer in the trees - like drinking ice-cold champagne for breakfast.

  2. Beautiful, if you've never been to the Wyre forest you really should try to vist in the spring. You would love it.

    Almost Shakespeare...
