Changing Landscapes

A woodland walk in the Quantocks. . . .

Tree roots exposed to the elements. . .

And trees even up-rooted. . . .

Moss covered trees. . . .

to moss covered stone walls. . . .

Expanses of water strewn with fallen branches. . . .

Decaying leaves caught amongst the lichen & moss. . . .

Uphill walk leading to an open exposed barren landscape.

But the uphill trek made it worthwhile,

 with magnificant views looking out over fields,

 with the village of Holford,

 & beyond,

 the English Channel.

 Even at the top of the hill though, nature still flourishes,

from sheep gathered on the hillside,

to fungi growing on dead wood,

And  bushes of broom,

 flowering in splendour at the start of the long walk down.
