There’s been sunshine in the birch woods. Well, obviously there’s been sunshine everywhere, but it’s still so low that it doesn’t hit the garden much. It’s in the wild woods that it warms your face and makes long shadows between the trees.
Blue Skies in the Birch Woods
There’s even been clear skies.
I love the gold and blue colours of winter. Green is muted for now, just waiting for the spring.

Beautiful pictures, Ailish. The wooded areas are sure fascinating during the winter. The sky is SO blue in one picture.
Thank you, Tim 🙂
I’m enjoying your TV Aerial (!) so far, thank you. The photo next to the book cover above, though, that’s not Ariel is it?
I thought the picture had the right atmosphere. Finger-wise, not quite right, I know! I didn’t want to photoshop it that way.
Nature is lovely in every season.
Indeed 🙂
Thank you for your beautiful photos of Scotland. It is always interesting and comforting to hear you speak about the changing seasons and other phenomenon.
I’m glad you liked the post, Brendan.
I love the bare trees. It’s amazingly gorgeous.
I love them too.
Hints of spring. Look how the branches of trees look a little purple – new buds, called impressionistic spring.
Yes, those wee buds start really early. I’d not heard that term before, though.
Love the photos. They’re very beautiful
Thank you 🙂
You’re very welcome
I sure love the random splashes of sunshine!
Me too 🙂
