Green, Blue and Brown



The last week of February, sometimes thought the end of winter, and how do the trees look? In the valley below Bole Hill the two Hawthorns look unnaturally green. Close up it's like a model of molecule structure, the moss balls like winter fruit.



This is an excellent hideaway point with a natural tree shelter.



Over Blacka Hill and beside the feeder stream for Blacka Dyke is the prime area for Rowan and Birch to play host to lichens some a startling blue.


The Alder's buds are swelling but it's less hospitable to other growths.  Nearby the young oak is still well protected.
