A vertical smartphone photograph of a gnarled, leafless deciduous tree, likely an oak, standing prominently in a dark forest. The tree's trunk and thick, winding branches are lightly dusted with pale green lichen. The ground beneath is a dramatic, undulating carpet of vibrant, thick green moss covering large rocks and tree roots. In the background, dark, dense evergreen trees create a moody, shadowed atmosphere, while a sliver of blue sky and soft light peek through the canopy above.

The Mossy Heart of Wicklow. This is one of my favourite trees to photograph - no matter the season it always impresses me.

A dramatic low-angle, vertical shot looking straight up the trunk of a massive tree towards a pale, overcast sky. The bark is almost entirely carpeted in thick, textured, vibrant lime-green moss that appears soft and velvet-like. The trunk tapers upward, leading the eye to a complex web of dark, leafless winter branches that spread out like veins against the grey-white sky. The mood is peaceful, ancient, and immersive, capturing the lush dampness of an Irish forest.

Changing the perspective. There is an entire world living in the moss of a single tree. Standing beneath these giants makes everything else feel a bit more manageable.

Drawings by my colleague, Ray Busfield, now retired. He's a fascinating plantsman, naturalist. He has sent me a hand drawn card every Christmas. I have 20 of them now. I put them all out on a shelf every year. #drawings #sessileoak #trees #alternativechristmastree #naturefirst #solarcabin #rewild

We love working in our oak framed workshop at Sunnymede, even when another oak frame nearly fills it.
