Essex Wood: February

So, here is the second ‘big’ picture in my Essex Wood series!

Essex Wood: February

This one is of a clearing quite near the middle of the wood. I liked the way the sun lit up the bark of the tree on the left – maybe an ash? not quite sure – and the way it soared up into the blue sky, and also the shadow patterns on the grass. The little, worn path dived through the trees at the edge of the clearing into a more wooded area, and the distance was just a haze of trees and shadows. The two central hazel trees, on either side of the path, were covered on their upper branches with catkins.

Hope you like it! 🙂
