A stream cuts its way down a hill with a fallen tree crossing the water.
A blanket of bluebells and ferns within a field of beech trees.
Bluebells preparing to blossom.
Looking up through the branches of a yew tree.
Celtic lore believe ancestors can be contacted through yew trees. Tjey wood knock on wood to wake them. It's unknown how this evolved whether it was the slow growing yew that doesn't change its shape once its matured or whether it's seen as a portal to the spirit world because of its poisonous seed and leaves.
Returned to Wood Hill, Alva this evening. I love the sound of the woodland. It's a wonderful place, even when the car park is full you rarely meet another person.
