Copper Wood of Thrunton
About three weeks ago, I talked a little about beech leaves still clinging to their branches during winter and how their copper-coloured leaves loom out from the dark backdrop of shady woodland. They make great photos:

The Skies Have It
The skies or the sky?
Singular of plural? Mmm…is there just one sky or are there many skies?
I suppose it depends on your perspective. Lying on your back looking up into a completely dark sky can surely make you feel that you’re lying under the enormous globe of just one sky. But…
On the Beech or ‘What a Lot of Big Words!’
I have three favourite words. The second of these (in the order that I was introduced to them) came from studying A-level Biology at VI Form College when I was a teenager. I’m sure it’ll be on everyone’s Favourite List. It’s abscission. Yes, that one again! I know…it’s so yesterday, isn’t it?

However, some snow is still clinging to the backdrop of the Cheviot Hills.
